Welcome to the Unstone Parish Council website
Chairs Welcome StatementWelcome to the Parish of Unstone website. The Parish includes Unstone, Apperknowle, Hundall & the Handleys. The purpose of the website is to provide information about the Parish Council, Fred Hopkinson Memorial Hall, local news and events and local contacts and facilities.
The Parish Council was established in 1895 and the officers are a Clerk and a Finance Officer (both part-time appointments) and there are 10 elected Parish Councillors. Unstone Parish Council provides a number of services directly, such as the Memorial Hall, and the village play areas, and other services in partnership with other bodies (e.g. Dronfield Cemetery) for the benefit of the local community. During these difficult economic times the Parish council endeavours to provide cost effective services both directly and in partnership with others. |
