We would like to welcome you to the Brinkworth Parish Council website. Our aim is to give parishioners an insight into the Council as well as deliver access to various documents and information.

Brinkworth Parish Council works to represent the residents of Brinkworth. Your Council consists of 11 Councillors, including the Chair and Vice-Chair. Their contact details and further information is available on the ‘Your Councillors’ page.

Our regular meetings are held in the Village Hall, and the public are invited and welcome to attend. The dates of meetings are shown on the ‘Agendas & Minutes’ page. Notices of meetings are published on the website and also on the various noticeboards in the Parish at least 3 working days before each meeting is held. A ten minute Public Forum is held at the start of all Parish Council Meetings to allow Parishioners the opportunity to raise issues and ask questions. Due to the current pandemic we are unable to hold 'normal' meetings, instead we will be holding our meetings via Zoom and members of the public are invited to write to the clerk with any comments regarding agenda items.

Parishioners are encouraged to get in touch with the Clerk to the Council with any queries. Details can be found on the ‘Contact us’ page.

                                                                           Footpath 2019

Reward for our hard work and tenacity in pressing the case for a footpath to link Stoppers Hill and Barnes Green (Phase 1)!

Brinkworth Parish Council has been notified that the bid for substantive funding from Wiltshire Council has been successful. Seven schemes were submitted for consideration and were scored in terms of deliverability and value for money (cost versus benefit) and Brinkworth's Phase 1 (first half of the footpath) came third of the four that were approved.
This decision needs to be formally confirmed and Malmesbury Community Area Transport Group needs to allocate £5,000 of its annual budget to support us. Assuming all goes ahead as hoped, Phase 1 would be implemented in the year which begins April 2020.
Phase 1 will run from The Old Chapel to The Old Manse. The first step will be a drainage survey along the whole length of 'the missing link' including 'Phase 2'. This survey will assist in calculating the costs for Phase 2 of the path, which we will be working on in due course.
This is a big project for a small village and should prove invaluable to residents.
