If this is you, then we need you. We need people from all backgrounds and experiences to put themselves forward for co-option to the Parish Council.

No special qualification is required to be a councillor.  It is important that all types of people serve as councillors so that all aspects of the community are represented.  Training for new councillors is also available to help you understand the responsibilities of the role.

If you think you’d like to join the Parish Council or would like to know more, please get in touch with the clerk Julie  Sadler (clerk@denstoneparishcouncil.gov.uk) or telephone 01335 324692 who is happy to talk with you about the role and what’s involved. The closing date for applying is 31^st October 2025

If more people indicate their interest in becoming a Parish Councillor than the number of vacancies available, candidates will be asked to give a short statement about why they are interested in the role, and the Parish Council will make their decision by a majority vote.

Thank you

PROPOSED DIVERSION OF PUBLIC FOOTPATH
NO 15 (PART) DENSTONE
Staffordshire County Council is currently considering an application to divert the
above public footpath. The effect of the diversion will be to extinguish the existing
section of footpath shown by a solid black line (A-B) on the map and create in its
place the footpath shown by a broken black line (C-D-E-B). This proposal will divert
the footpath from the Definitive line which passes through the garden of the house
onto a line, which has been used for over 15 years, in the adjacent field to improve
privacy and security at the property.
