District wide Community Governance Review

A Community Governance Review (CGR) looks at how town and parish councils are set up, whether any changes are needed, and if residents would support a parish council in unparished areas.

Three Rivers District Council has received a number of requests to consider changing existing parish arrangements. Chorleywood Parish Council has requested a change to the parish wards within the parish. Croxley Green Parish Council has requested parish boundaries to be reviewed with Sarratt Parish Council. Batchworth Community Council has requested to alter the number of councillors that sit on the council and consideration of name change status.

Three Rivers District Council would also like to ask residents in Maple Cross, West Hyde, Penn and Mill End if they want a parish council for all or part of the area, whether they would prefer to join an existing neighbouring parish council, or remain unparished.
