Berryfields Parish Council
The Parish Council, formed in May 2015, elected for a period of 4 years. The last election was May 2021 at which our councillors were elected, unopposed.
Our Councillors work to represent the interests of Berryfields Parish and its residents. We meet on the third Wednesday of each month with the exception of August and December at 7.30pm in the Roman Park Hall.
The PC is gradually taking over play areas and amenity land in Berryfields which will ensure it is effectively managed and maintained in good condition for the benefit of all as well as some dog waste and litter bins. These include Berryfields Green, Marston Brook, Marston Green, Land at Bramley Road, Roman Park, Gateway Park. All public land areas will, eventually, be transferred to the Parish Council who will manage and maintain them.
Please get in touch if there is anything we can do to help - we are always delighted to hear from Parishioners, if we can't help we will put you in touch with the appropriate Authority or department.
The Council holds the General Power of Competence since it has a qualified Parish Clerk and Deputy Clerk as well as the required number of elected councillors. This allows it the freedom to act, as an individual could, within the law, for the benefit of residents, subject to no other Authority having a specific Power (such as Highways, Education, Health and so on).

Current projects & plansYou told us you were concerned about speeding MVAS message
Berryfields and Watermead Parish Councils have purchased an MVAS (Mobile Vehicle Activated Sign) to record speeding drivers which will be placed in strategic sites in the villages.
 Volunteers operating Community Speedwatch
OUR SENTINEL SPEEDWATCH DEVICE IS FREQUENTLY DEPLOYED IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN BERRYFIELDS. SPEEDERS ARE REPORTED TO THE POLICE!
VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED! Community Speedwatch is a scheme giving villages a hand held speeding device provided by the Police which a team of volunteers will operate in areas where speeds are excessive. The device transmits data to the Police who will send a letter to first offenders, and follow up with a decision on prosecution after second and subsequent reports. This is another valuable tool in the fight against speeding. We hope that these initiatives will help us control speeding in the Parish. We have volunteers but if you would like to join the team please let us know. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERINGVolunteers are always needed to help with events, delivering leaflets, speedwatch, litter picking and much more! If you would like to get involved in the community, or organise an event, the Parish Council would appreciate your help.
Parish Council Land can be used for approved events with no charge for charities. However, the land use policy applies and you must contact the parish office to obtain permission prior to any arrangements being made. |
