Hughenden Parish Council share the sad news of the passing of David Davies.

Updated list of councillors and their email addresses, plus how to contact the council office.

The new parish council held its first meeting on 14 March 2022 and the council now has ten councillors.

On 14 March 2022 Hughenden Parish Council co-opted two more councillors, resulting in a total of ten councillors and five vacancies. To see all parish councillors, go to the Councillors page.

Hughenden Parish Council became quorate again on 8 March 2022 following the co-option of six new councillors resulting in a total of eight councillors and seven vacancies. To enable this co-option to take place Buckinghamshire Council made a Section 91 Order under the 1972 Local Government Act temporarily appointing Buckinghamshire Councillors Cllr David Carroll, Cllr Steve Broadbent and Cllr Clive Harriss to the council to enable the co-options to take place. As soon as the co-options were resolved, the appointments of the county councillors to the parish council ceased. Hughenden Parish Council is now able to hold meetings and make decisions.

Buckinghamshire Councillors: the three appointed councillors will only take part in the business of the meeting up to and including the appointment of the co-optees. Once appointed so as ensure that HPC becomes quorate, the Buckinghamshire Councillors will then effectively resign from their roles, leave the meeting and cease to be Hughenden Parish Councillors; and the newly constituted membership can then take forward the rest of the business.

HPC will be meeting on 8th March 2022 at 7:30pm at Church House, Hughenden. Seven candidates have put themselves forward for co-option and HPC will be quorate once more.

Tomorrow will be my final active day for Hughenden Parish Council. I wish you all a happy and productive future.

Hughenden Parish Council has insufficient councillors to remain quorate and the Clerk has informed Buckinghamshire Council of this fact. The Electoral Services Officer has received this information and confirmed that we are now inquorate.
