Tockenham Parish Council
Welcome to the Tockenham Parish Council website. It has been designed as a “one-stop shop” for parishioners and the wider community and is intended to provide up to date and historical information on all Parish Council related matters, including meetings and decisions.
The Parish Council today provides a vital part of local democracy, representing
views, and guarding local interests with Wiltshire Council, and many other
agencies. The Parish Council is elected for a 4-year term and each year sets an
annual precept which is used primarily for maintaining the recreation ground
and the local surroundings as well as essential insurance cover. It meets in
the Village Hall, approximately every 2 months to discuss parish council
business. All local residents are welcome to attend any of the meetings, as
members of the public. If you have any specific issues that you would like to
raise at a Tockenham Parish Council Meeting, or any questions that you would
like to ask, please submit them to the clerk beforehand at clerk@tockenhamparishcouncil.gov.uk
The next Parish Council Meeting will be held on Thursday 4th September 2025 at 7pm at the Tockenham Village Hall (please note this is instead of a meeting on Wednesday 3rd September 2025 as previously advised).

Local health and care services want to hear your views on frailty
Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire NHS Integrated Care Board (BSW ICB) is developing a new frailty strategy to improve care, reduce inequalities, and ensure that people living with frailty receive the right support at the right time. You can help by filling in our short survey
Why Your Voice Matters
Frailty is a condition that affects many aspects of life — from physical health and emotional wellbeing to independence and access to care. We’ve already heard from people across our region who’ve shared powerful insights into what experiencing frailty means to them, how it impacts daily life, and what support they need.
How You Can Help
Now we want to hear from you. Whether you live with frailty, care for someone who does, or simply want to share your thoughts — your input is vital.
Complete our short survey here
It only takes a few minutes, and your feedback will directly inform how we design and deliver services across BSW.
Together, we can build a future where everyone affected by frailty receives the care, dignity, and support they deserve.
