Introduction

Peover Superior Parish Council (or OPPC) provides democratic representation for Parish residents, especially in dealings with Cheshire East Council.

OPPC has a complement of 8 elected Councillors and employs the services of a Parish Clerk (see Who's Who). The Council liaises with Cheshire East Council, and works closely with the Parish Plan Implementation Management Group (IMG) & Action Groups, with the Village Hall Management Committee, and with other groups in the Parish.

The Council receives details of Village Planning Applications (and subsequent decisions) from Cheshire East Council, and is invited to make comments on these Applications.

Finance

The Parish Council is funded directly by residents of Over Peover, via precept from Cheshire East (total £4900 per annum in 2010/2011). Councillors receive no salary, the Clerk receives an annual fee, and payments of disbursements and expenses are subject to approval and minute during OPPC meetings. The Council manages additional funding and disbursements for Parish Plan activities.

Members are required to comply with a Code of Conduct and the Council's Standing Orders.

Meetings

Meetings are held 10 times per year, currently in Over Peover Methodist Chapel Hall on Cinder Lane,  usually starting at 19:45 on the last Tuesday of the month (no meeting August or December). Sometimes meetings take place in either the Primary School or the Village Hall, on Stocks Lane. Meetings are open to the press and public. The annual meeting usually takes place on the last Tuesday in March starting at 19:00.

Residents may raise items of concern by prior notice via the Clerk.

Please check meeting agenda notices for start time and venue (see Meetings/Agendas on this website, and the main OPPC noticeboard in the Village).

Minutes of Meetings and Council Information

OPPC complies with Freedom of Information law and endeavours to meet residents' information and communication requirements. Where residents require paper copies of information from the Council, then a charge may be made (see Information).

Agendas are displayed on the Village Noticeboard, opposite the School, and the Minutes are displayed on this website.
