Parish Council 2024

Shipbourne Parish Council has 7 Councillors; each elected to serve for a 4-year term. The Councillors are unpaid and work within a strict Code of Conduct to maintain the quality of life in the parish of Shipbourne. The Council forms the first tier of local government and has a duty and powers to administrate various aspects of village life. Amongst other responsibilities, it is informed of and comments on planning issues through Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council; it maintains the Churchyard and possesses the freeholds of the Village Hall and Dunks Green Common.

The Parish Council usually meets on the second Monday of each month (except in August when there is no meeting) in the Village Hall at 7.00pm.  Residents are welcome to attend these meetings to seek advice or discuss village issues.

The Clerk is the Responsible Financial Officer. The Parish Council receives its funding from Tonbridge & Malling BC through  a  Precept which is an element of the Council Tax. In addition, the Parish Council is able to raise additional funding for special projects.
