Davenham Parish Council covers a large area of mid-Cheshire between Northwich, Hartford and Winsford and includes the Village of Davenham, the Hamlet of Whatcroft and the large Kingsmead housing development between Northwich and Leftwich. It is responsible for overseeing, advising and taking decisions on many aspects of village life. The Parish Council is the first tier of local government and members are elected every four years. Occasionally we co-opt members when people retire from the council for various reasons such as if they move away from the area. The Council has very little real power - our key role is to represent the interests of local residents and to lobby those authorities that do have the power and responsibility to get things done such as the Borough and County Councils and as we are a democratically elected body our voice is always listened to. In this Parish we are responsible for developing and maintaining the various playing fields that we own, making sure that planning applications are consistent with the character of the area, monitoring the state of public footpaths and the general natural environment, ensuring that litter is properly dealt with, and being the first port of call for community groups and initiatives for support in financial or advisory matters. We also employ (jointly with our neighbour, Moulton Parish Council) a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) whose responsibilities and powers are detailed on this website.
