Working Together for Thornley – Join the Parish Council

If you’re passionate about your local community and would like to work with others to make a difference in your village, consider joining Thornley Parish Council.

Thornley Parish Council provides various services in the village, such as Ludworth Road Cemetery, Welfare Park, play areas, a number of allotments, grounds maintenance and public spaces, as well as Thornley Village Centre which offers a wide range of activities and facilities.

The Council always aims to deliver good value while ensuring its services are well run and meet the needs of our community. An exciting new project is underway to install a pump track.

Councillors meet at least every other month to represent local people, are here for the community and want to make a difference.

Parish Councils may be different from what you expect – why not get in touch to find out more?

There are currently three vacancies. To express an interest please contact the Parish Clerk, Claire Llewelyn, by Thursday 19 June 2025.

Local Services: who can help?

Do you have all the information to hand for an emergency? While Thornley Parish Council is not directly responsible for emergency planning, we want to make sure that residents are able to be as prepared as possible and have the details they need should an emergency arise.

Please visit our Preparing for Emergencies and Useful Links page for more information.

You’ll also find some useful links on that page to helpful services including Citizens Advice and the local Drug and Alcohol Service.
