Tickenham Parish Council

Tickenham Parish Council has been in existence for well over eighty years and before that the Parish Meeting for a further twenty nine years! Many things have improved over that time and the Council continues to consider a variety of issues affecting the village, not least planning applications and highways issues. There is much variety and some frustrations but being a parish councillor is a commitment to maintaining the ethos of the village.

Tickenham is served by North Somerset Council. Cllr Nigel Ashton holds surgery during the monthly Village Market (2nd Saturday of the month) in the village hall committee room, from 10.30am.

Further information:

The parish council meets every 2nd Thursday of the month in the village hall committee room, from 7.30pm. The Annual Parish Meeting is held in April and the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council (when it elects its officers) is held in May.
