Thurlestone Parish Council

Thurlestone Parish Council has seven councillors who were all elected in May 2019. They are volunteers and here to serve the communities of Thurlestone, West Buckland and Bantham by representing the Parish and its interests. 

. The key to an effective parish council is the involvement of the parishioners so please feel free to attend the monthly meetings in the Parish Hall, Thurlestone or to get involved in the many and various projects around the Parish. 

​For more details please contact the Parish Clerk, Helen Nathanson, at thurlestoneparish@gmail.com

Parish Council - Roles and Responsibilities

Thurlestone Parish Council (TPC) represents the villages of Thurlestone, West Buckland and Bantham. It is part of the local government structure of Devon in conjunction with South Hams District Council (SHDC) and Devon County Council (DCC). We work closely with both to promote villagers' interests, to represent their views and to resolve their concerns. TPC raises money – the Precept – which forms a small part of the council tax paid by each household and which pays for the services we undertake on behalf of the parish.

TPC is responsible for: all aspects of the Neighbourhood Plan, including planning applications, heritage, street furniture, the DAAT landing site, and community housing; Island View play area; the public toilets in Thurlestone; the War Memorial and cobbled road; all parish footpaths; grass cutting and verges; general maintenance and upkeep of the villages.  
DCC is responsible for highways, footpaths, flood measures, public rights of way, education, libraries, social services and strategic planning.
SHDC is responsible for housing, local planning, environmental health and refuse collection.  It also has responsibility for most of the village’s playing fields and open spaces.
