Welcome to the website of the
Swanwick Parish Council
"Proud to serve the Parish of Swanwick"
Village life is a wonderful thing, something to be appreciated and preserved.
Swanwick Parish Council is committed to preserving the heritage of our village but also to preparing it for the future.
For the residents of Swanwick, and visitors alike, Swanwick Parish Council hopes this website will help everyone keep in touch with activities in the village, and the services it offers.
The more effort that is put in to create a sense of community, the greater the gain for the village as a whole.
This website helps maintain that process by allowing information to be exchanged, news to be spread and events to be announced. Find out what’s happening and read about what’s happened. If you want to keep abreast of the latest news then sign up for the RSS feed.
And don’t forget whatever your news, views, ideas and suggestions we want to hear from you.

Vacancies for Parish Councillors
Swanwick Parish Council has 2 vacancies for Parish Councillors. The vacancies have arisen because insufficient number of candidates stood at the uncontested local election on 4th May 2023.
Anyone wishing to be co-opted onto the Parish Council should send their details to the Clerk. You should state your name, address, a brief description of your work experience and list the skills that you think could contribute to the work of the Parish Council and improving village life.
Councillors who are co-opted to the Council will hold the position for 4 years or until the next Parish Council Elections (whichever is the earlier).
If there are more applicants for co-option than there are vacancies, then the Parish Council’s selection process will be applied.
A full list of elected members can be found below.
