The Parish Council
Upper Clatford Parish Council
The local government parish of Upper Clatford comprises the communities known locally as Upper Clatford, Anna Valley and Red Rice. The parish is situated south of Andover and is separated from the town by an area designated as a Local Gap through which the River Anton flows. A large part of the Upper Clatford element of the parish is in a Conservation area, see the NDP page.
The parish lies within the Test Valley Borough Council domain and our county council is Hampshire County Council. The parliamentary constituency is Romsey and Southampton North.
The Parish Council meets monthly, normally on the second Wednesday of each month at 7.30 pm in the Village Hall. Councillor details are below. All minutes and agendas are listed on a relevant sub-page.
Our Role
The Parish Council has a reporting and commenting interest in planning applications within the parish, highways, footpaths, trees and open spaces. It is also responsible for two playgrounds, a large playing field and various other land and buildings listed below. It has a budget made up from the Precept (your contribution paid through TVBC as Council Tax), grants and other minor contributions. The latest audit figures and the Notice of Conclusion of Audit / Public Rights are here, (note that scanned pdf documents do not comply with the Accessibility Regulations 2018 but can be provided in an alternative format if required).
