The Parish Council is made up of five councillors and is elected every four years. Parish councils are the oldest form of civil government in England (older than county councils and far older than the present district councils); they are the successors of the earlier church parish councils which now exist as parochial church councils.Council meetings are held bi-monthly in the evenings at Bighton Village Hall. Parishioners are invited to attend and can ask questions or raise concerns at the end of the meeting. We are part of the Alresfords ward of Winchester City Council. City Councillors together with our County Councillor often attend our meetings and provide valuable input. There is an annual parish assembly in May of each year which parishioners are encouraged to attend. Minutes and the agenda for each meeting can be found on this site.
