Information about what we do
Wheldrake Parish Council’s purpose is to improve well-being in the community and to help provide better services to people living in the parish.
It does this by:
– Providing some local services
– Passing on the views of local people
– Protecting the environment and the greenbelt
The council has a range of discretionary powers, including raising a precept – a form of council tax used to fulfil duties and raise funding on occasion for community driven projects.
The council:
– Liaises with City of York Council and comments on all planning applications
– Represents village interests with other groups
– Manages village assets such as the playground
– Supports village organisations
The Council has limited direct power but it voices grass-roots opinion. It negotiates with and influences organisations who make the final decisions.
