Welcome to Orchard Park Community Council
Orchard Park Community Council came into being on 1 April 2009 although the elections to the Council took place later, in June 2009. The most recent election was in May 2011 and the next elections are due to be in May 2015, apart from any election which may be called for a casual vacancy.
A 'Community Council' is another name for a Parish Council - the first level of government closest to the people and representing the concerns of the local community.
The council meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 7pm at The Orchard Community Centre. Everyone is welcome to attend any meeting with the opportunity to ask questions at the start of each meeting.
Orchard Park Summer Fiesta
Saturday 21 July 2012 from 2.00pm – 9.00pm at the Sports Ground
Plans for the annual Orchard Park summer event are well on the way. Changes to the format and timing of this year’s event to coincide with the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations are planned, with music and entertainment going on into the evening hosting fun for all ages.
The new name ‘Orchard Park Summer Fiesta’ is the first change you will have noticed. The Steering Group for this event meet on the second Wednesday of each month and is made up of councillors, staff, residents and other organisations such as the Community Church. We welcome anyone who would like to join us in organising the event and, we also we also welcome comments and suggestions from all.
