Proposed new pavilion for Iver Recreation Ground.

On June 28th 2010, Iver Parish Council announced it is about to apply to the Football Foundation for funding  towards new changing rooms on Iver Recreation Ground now that the Delaford Colts Development Plan has been finalised and approved by the Parish Council and full planning permission obtained. The changing rooms will be used for football and other activities on the recreation ground and the Council wants to make it clear that there is to be no bar in the building although there will be a community room and a kitchen. This will be available during term time in the daytime for community use.

Iver Parish Council is the body that represents local opinion. We are consulted on all planning proposals and have regular requests for opinions on a variety of matters such as footpaths, licensing and street collections, road safety, library services, ancient monuments and trees.

In addition we are responsible for some areas of common land including Iver Heath Fields, Hardings Row Nature Reserve, St Leonard's Mound in Richings Park, a footpath in Pinewood Green, 2 recreation grounds, a sports pavilion at Iver Heath, 2 children's playgrounds, local street lighting, allotments, bus shelters, parish notice boards, seats and litter/dog bins.

We also give grants to a number of local organisations and provide hanging baskets in our shopping areas in the summer and lights at Christmas.

All Parish Council and Committee meetings are open to the public and we are required by law to hold an annual Parish meeting at which anything can be discussed. There are 14 Parish Councillors who try to represent local opinion but we welcome comments from anyone attending these meetings.

Iver Parish Council obtained Quality Council Status in 2007. This is a new Government initiative to recognise Town and Parish Councils who have proven that they are competent and professionally managed. This is important in raising the standing of Town and Parish Councils so that the voice of local communities can be heard more strongly. Your Parish Council will seek to promote the interests of Iver in every way we can and this award can only help.  click here for more details.

The Parish Council has an Action Plan which was derived from a questionnaire which was sent to all residents of the parish in July 2002.  To view progress on the plan click The Iver Parish Action Plan. (1.96MB pdf file) We are currently re-appraising the Plan and a mini survey has been undertaken.
