Welcome to the website for Ballidon & Bradbourne Parish Council. Parish Councils are the third tier of local government, after County (Derbyshire) and District (Derbyshire Dales District) Councils.
A key role for the Parish Council is to comment on matters dealt with by other organisations. The Parish Council is always consulted on Planning Applications. If it objects to a planning proposal, applications will usually have to go to a full Planning Committee for decision.
The Parish Council is often involved when other organisations are developing new policies or proposing significant action that affects the parish. The Parish Council can also make representations to any other body on matters that affect the parish.
Ballidon and Bradbourne Parish Council meets four times during the year. All meetings of the Parish Council are open to the public. To find the date of the next meeting click on the link to the right that reads Next Parish Council Meeting.
Bradbourne is famous for being a ‘doubly thankful village’ as the village suffered no losses during World War I or World War II. More information is available in All Saints’ Church Bradbourne. More information about the history of Bradbourne can be found on the community page.
