Welcome to the High Legh Parish Council Web Site

High Legh Parish Council is the council for the parish of High Legh in Cheshire. Being the lowest tier of local government for the area it is closest to the residents and businesses of the parish. HLPC seeks to represent parishioners in the fairest way possible by providing and enhancing services that are accessible by all members and associations of the community. HLPC is represented by 10 volunteer councillors who are re-elected every four years and the PC employs one Parish clerk. High Legh Parish is also represented by three Cheshire East Councillor. The Parish Council is funded through a Precept which is set annually by the Parish Council and is based on the work it is intending to do during the forthcoming year. The sum required is obtained through a "local tax" which is included in the level of Council Tax levied by Cheshire East Council. HLPC meets approximately every 6 weeks at the Village Hall and welcomes all parishioners to attend meetings. HLPC hosts an open Police Surgery at 7pm before each meeting at 7.30pm. If you would like to contribute material or have any comments on the site please contact the Web Master.

Management of High Legh Village Hall and School House January 2010

The PC would like to assure all members of High Legh Parish that the PC is firmly committed to retaining the Village Hall as a community building for general use by the community. The PC is not considering and has no plans to sell or alter the use of the village hall. This policy represents the majority view of residents as shown in the recent Parish Plan survey.

Full support from both the CA/PC now, and in the future, is not in question.

Delivery of the Parish Plan

With many thanks to the long standing team of volunteers who distribute the CA Newsletter, the Parish Plan Steering Committee [ PPSC] is delighted to announce the delivery of your personal copy of The High Legh Parish Plan, together with an invitation to The Launch. The Plan is the culmination of the work of a small group of local residents, the PPSC, who have successfully fulfilled the task to be the ‘voice’ of High Legh through the medium of the Plan. This document is our vision, how we, the people of High Legh, want our village to develop in the future. The process has evolved in two stages:
· We asked you what you wanted [the Questionnaire]
· We analysed your answers [The Plan]
When you read The Plan, you will see that it contains a series of Action Plans, and it is these, which will become the foundation of the third and final stage, the Implementation of The Plan. To celebrate the publication of the Plan, we have organised ‘The Launch,’ to which all residents of High Legh are cordially invited. It will take place on Wednesday February 24th at 7.30pm in the hall at the Primary School on Wrenshot Lane. In true celebratory style to mark this important milestone in the history of our Parish, we would love you to join us in a glass of bubbly and a slice of Launch Cake! It will also be an opportunity to meet the PPSC again, for us to tell you about The Plan and most importantly, to give you the opportunity to help to implement it. We are a small community and for the final stage of The Plan to be successful we need volunteers to continue the work of the PPSC, who are nearing the end of their tenure. This can be as much or as little as you would like as the sum total of all offers of help will secure the future of The Plan. We hope that you enjoy reading The Plan. We have had great pleasure in creating it on your behalf and feel that it truly reflects the very essence of High Legh.
Apart from joining in the celebrations on February 24th, all we ask of you is to follow the Three ‘R’s……. Read it, Revisit it periodically & Realise that you would like to help to implement it and volunteer
