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 Wednesday 2nd September 2026 at 7pm at the Tockenham Village Hall.

Wessex Water update – hosepipe ban introduced

Wessex Water

August 2026

Wessex Water has announced a hosepipe ban after months of unprecedented dry weather, heatwaves and a continued lack of rain forecast, which has led to sustained high demand for water.

The decision has been taken after more than 40 days of demand for water remaining at record breaking h

levels and the region formally declared as being in drought. We need to protect our water resources for both our customers and the environment.

It is the first time Wessex Water have introduced a ban in half a century, since the famous drought of 1976.

From Tuesday 18th August 2026 at 00:01hrs our 1.4 million customers - in areas including Bath and parts of Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire - must not use a hosepipe for activities such as watering gardens, washing cars, patios, paths and driveways, cleaning windows or filling swimming and paddling pools.

The Police and Crime Commissioner has recently launched their 2026 Precept survey. The OPCC Communications and Engagement team need as many people as possible to respond and have their say on the precept and the policing budget and we'd like your help.

Wiltshire Police is one of the lowest funded forces in England, yet performance and public trust are improving.

To protect visible policing, faster response times and recent progress, Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Wilkinson is consulting the public on a proposed £15 a year (£1.25 a month) increase to the police precept.

Have your say in the Use Your Voice: Budget and Precept 2026/27 Survey and help shape the future of policing in Wiltshire.
