The parish of Hatley was formed in 1957 when the parishes of Hatley St George and East Hatley were united.

Hatley Parish Council was established on 5th July 1973 by a mandate drawn from the Local Government Act of 1933 which ‘provided that for every rural parish there shall be a Parish Meeting’… [and] in the case of a parish having a population of less than 200, the County Council may establish a Parish Council for that parish.

The mandate doesn’t give the population in 1973 – the 2011 census put it at 181 people in 77 households.

Hatley Parish Council comprises five members – a chairman, vice-chairman and three others (currently there are only two ‘others’ – see below) and a clerk.

What we do

We are responsible for making decisions relevant to the parish and also setting the annual precept. We are also responsible for the playing area / equipment in Hatley St George, the village hall and the village speed monitoring sign.

As sub-committees of the Parish Council, Hatley Village Association and the Hatley Website Group report to us at our regular meetings. We also receive reports about Hatley St George church, St Denis’ church East Hatley and from the St Denis’ church Local Nature Reserve Management Group.

We also comment on Hatley planning applications – they are routinely discussed at our meetings and our recommendations can be influential with the officers and Planning Committee at South Cambs District Council.

We organise regular litter picks each year along the verges of the Croydon / Gamlingay road within the parish and we are very keen on making sensible enhancements for the village – such as the speed monitoring sign.

Hatley Parish Council meetings

Hatley Parish Council holds five scheduled ‘Ordinary’ meetings a year on the third Tuesday of January, March, May (the Annual Parish Meeting followed by the Annual General Meeting), July and October; other ‘extraordinary’ meetings (usually concerned with a planning application) are held as necessary.
