About Dormansland Parish Council
Dormansland Parish Council meets at 7.30pm on the first Monday of each month in the Committee Room of the Dormansland Memorial Hall. Residents of the parish are always very welcome to attend these meetings and will have the opportunity to raise any questions or concerns they may have which ensures the work of the Council remains effective and relevant to the residents of Dormansland it serves.
The aims and objectives of the Council are to represent the interests of local residents with outside bodies such as District and County Councils, particularly in such areas as planning, highways and local services and any other matters that concern the residents. In addition, the Council is there to assist and encourage local organisations to develop for the benefit of the residents.
Dormansland Parish Council was established in May 2000, following a campaign by local residents and “The Dormansland Village Group”. Prior to this Dormansland & Haxted was part of the area covered by the former Lingfield & Dormansland Parish Council. The Parish Council is made up of seven elected residents of the Parish, all of whom believe strongly that there is no room for party politics at Parish level. All Councillors have stood for election and are elected as independent of any political party.
The Parish Council has particularly strong views on the protection of the Green Belt and actively resists any attempts to erode this. There is also a meeting each month, on a Saturday morning at Lingfield library, to discuss and comment on any planning applications within the parish that may have been submitted to Tandridge District Council.
At the full Council meeting in March 2009 Dormansland Parish Council formally adopted the Model Publication Scheme. The scheme identifies how information held by the Council may be available to the public. To see a copy of the document detailing the scheme please click here.
