Our aim is to provide access to news and information about the Parish, the business of Sunningwell Parish Council and other local government activity, plus events organised by the Parish Council. In keeping with Transparency requirements you will also be able to view Parish Council documents such as agendas, minutes and accounts information.

The Parish council will continue to work in partnership with SPADE and others to try and ensure that the negative effects on the Parish are minimised.

In September 2017 the Parish council completed the purchase of the Village Green. Sincere thanks to Paul Wooldridge for his dogged determination to see the Village Green acquired as a community asset and to those parishioners that donated funds.

The upkeep and maintenance of the Village Green is now the responsibility of the Parish Council and over the coming years we will be investing in it to ensure it can be used by the Parish and becomes a haven for wildlife.

Following representation from a number of residents regarding road safety along Foxcombe Road, the Parish Council submitted an application for the speed limit to be reduced from 40 to 30 mph.  This was implemented towards the end of 2017.

The 2018 Annual Picnic requires volunteers to help organise the event.  If anyone has the time and desire to lead or contribute then please contact the Parish Clerk.
