This is Chearsley

 

Welcome to Chearsley, a small village located in the Vale of Aylesbury between Aylesbury and Thame.

This site provides an introduction and guide to the village, its vibrant community, its long interesting history and details of what's on.

 

Parish Council Elections 1 May 2025

Elections for Chearsley Parish Council, will take place on 1 May 2025, along with other local elections across the County. 

All seven of our current Parish Councillors will stand down and those wishing to continue in office will have to stand for re-election, along with anyone else wishing to serve on the Council.

Most members of the current Council have indicated that they do not intend to stand for re-election. This means that Chearsley will require new Parish Councillors in May.

Information for anyone considering standing for election:

  • Timetable for the elections.  Including nomination dates and other important information.
  • Nomination papers for Parish Council elections
  • More details of qualifications needed to be a Councillor, the work of the Council and why new volunteers are needed
  • Electoral Commission Guidance for Candidates at Parish council elections in England
