PADDOCK WOOD TOWN COUNCIL

The Town Clerk, Mrs Nichola Reay, may be contacted during office hours (Monday – Friday, 9am – 4.30pm), or if you would like to speak to a Town Councillor, please write or phone and a Councillor will contact you to arrange a convenient appointment.

How can your Town Council help? The Town Council is responsible for open space amenities in the town - burial grounds, allotments, and playing fields as well as some footway lighting, the environment and many other areas. If we cannot help, we can usually advise a responsible contact.

Full council meetings are normally held on the third Monday of the month at the Day Centre and Press and public are invited to attend but not to participate. However, meetings adjourn for 15mins at 9.00pm for public consultation. Planning and Environment and Estates committee's meet on first and second Mondays respectively.
