Hodthorpe Parish Council

The next ordinary meeting of the parish council will be held on Tuesday 6 May at 7pm in the village hall. Agenda items include the annual governance statement, playground inspection report, and highway improvement requests. Public participation is at 7pm.

The parish precept has been set at the same level as last year, with no increase for Band D properties. The council has achieved this through careful budget management while maintaining all existing services and committing to new wildflower planting along the main road.

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.
