Welcome to

Blockley Parish Council 

We serve the communities of Blockley, Aston Magna, Paxford, Draycott, Ditchford and Northwick Park. We’re here to represent parishioners and deliver local services, as well as improve quality of life and community cohesion for everyone who lives and works here.

NOTICE OF VACANCIES on Blockley Parish Council. Due to the resignation of  councillors we have several vacancies for further councillors to join BPC. We currently have no councillor who represents Draycott or Aston Magna villages so are especially interested in hearing from residents in those locations.  Do you care about our community? Do you have ideas for improving life for parishioners? Then make a difference and consider joining our small, friendly and dedicated team of councillors. Contact the Parish Clerk parishclerk@blockley.org.uk
