Comberbach Parish Council works for the interests of the local village community to maintain and improve the quality of life and local environment for residents and visitors.
The Parish Council comprises 8 Councillors elected for a 4-year term who are supported in their role by 2 part time staff – a Parish Clerk and a Responsible Financial Officer (RFO).
The Council is mainly funded through the precept which is an amount approved at a Council meeting in January each year. The Council gives detailed consideration to current and future commitments and projects before agreeing the budget for the year ahead and the level of precept required. The Council can also supplement its budget through grant funding.
The Council meets 6 times a year to make decisions on all matters. The Council also has a Finance Committee whose role is to monitor the financial position against the approved budget and give detailed consideration to any spending proposals; any recommendations are then put forward to the next Council meeting. The Council has a Planning Working Group which considers any planning applications in the village and makes comments to Cheshire West and Chester Council.
