Chinley Buxworth and Brownside Parish Council

Funding is being secured to upgrade the memorial garden and main recreation ground, including new benches, replacement dog waste bins, and restored hedgerow along the boundary. The Heartwood Community Forest scheme will also be contributing 200 native trees for the parish boundary.

The community speedwatch team recorded 47 vehicles exceeding the 30mph limit during March sessions on High Street. Letters have been sent to registered keepers. The parish council is pressing the county council for a vehicle-activated speed sign.

The annual accounts for 2025/26 have been approved by the external auditor and are now available for public inspection at the parish office and on the website. Total expenditure was £128,000, with reserves of £42,000 carried forward.
