Dunchideock Parish Council
Parish Council Resignations
Gavin Samwell (Chairman) resigned 28 February 2024. Edward Ellis is therefore now the Acting Chairman.
Nigel Gooding resigned 27 February 2024. Both with immediate effect! Something is up? The formal Notices of Casual Vacancy for each can be seen here
Previous Parish Clerk - Claim against the Parish Council
The details of the claim he made have not been made public but in response to a claim the previous clerk made to the Small Claims Court, the PC has now resolved that the proposed settlement agreement of £1,905.66 is to be made to him. Let's hope this immensely costly and, in my opinion, suspect situation can be resolved and not ruin PC finances.

What Does the Parish Council Do?
Our small parish has few maintenance responsibilities but the Parish Council exists to maintain democratic representation on behalf of our parishioners. But the new council, so far? They now have 21 policy documents but not yet done or discussed anything for the residents. Hence the petition to abandon the Parish Council.
When & Where does the Parish Council Meet?
See the web site for when they meet. They normally meet in our Village Hall at this location. The hall is, however, closed until further notice.
Planning Charter for Town & Parish Councils
There is a Planning Charter adopted by Teignbridge District Council that guides the relationship between TDC and our parish. Planning, often a troublesome topic, so this guide is a useful read.
Teignbridge Association of Local Councils (TALC)
Dunchideock PC, being one of the 50 town and parish councils (including parish meetings) in Teignbridge district, is automatically a member of TALC. Details on the Dunchideock Parish Council new web page, in due course ........
