Want to know about being a councillor and what the parish does.

Under the Freedom of Information Act we have also added our Publication Scheme as required by the act. It contains details about the Parish, how it operates and how to request information.

Councillors also agree to abide by the National Code of Conduct in their role, see the Parish Council’s Code of Conduct.
The Parish area borders on the River Thames to the north and west, Higham and Wainscott to the south; Chattenden, Cooling and High Halstow to the east. It is part of the unitary authority of Medway in North Kent.

The Parish Council is elected every four years (the last was in 2019, the next in May 2023). Up to eight councillors are elected for Cliffe Village ward and eight from the Cliffe Woods ward. If there are vacancies and not enough nominations, the parish can co-opt additional councillors to make up the numbers.

The full Parish Council meets in public on the second or third Thursdays of the month, alternately in Cliffe Memorial Hall  (Small Hall) and Cliffe Woods Emmanuel Centre - see meetings for details.

A number of committees take on some of the work between meetings - see Committees.Parish Council Minutes and the latest Agendas are also available on this site.

The Parish keep in contact with residents via the Cliffe Clarion (ad-hoc), current and past editions.
and regular items in the local edition of Village Voices.

The Parish is paid for by a local precept which is added to the Council Tax. This raised £66,122 (2022/2023)  which works out as about £30 per year, < 57p per week (some council tax bands have a lower charge, above Band D have a higher charge)
