Loading When the parish meets…
The four public meetings Wheatley Parish Council holds each month — planning, full council, open spaces and finance — when each one next sits, where, and the rules for turning up and asking a question.

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Wheatley and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Wheatley is run by three tiers of government, and the one you can walk to meets four times a month in two buildings on the High Street. Its meetings are open, anyone may come, and you can ask a question without booking anything or knowing anyone. That matters more here than it sounds. The village has no local paper, and the only channel that carries news quickly is a Facebook group you have to join to read. Meanwhile the 2026 parish election was uncontested with four seats left unfilled. This page is the plain version: which body meets when, where, and what the rules are if you want to say something.
Next public meeting
Full Parish Council — Monday 7 September
7:30 pm · The Merry Bells · in 14 days
The whole council: the budget, the working groups, and whatever the village is arguing about. In 2026 that has mostly meant flooding — a flood advisory group, a village flood booklet, and a contested attenuation-pond design on Littleworth Field next to the primary school — along with traffic and speeding, the Merry Bells, and a new sports and leisure group.
There is no first-Monday meeting in May or August. May instead has the Annual Parish Meeting and, separately, the Annual Parish Council Meeting, both published on the council's dates page.

Every planning application in the village comes here — extensions, trees, listed buildings, new houses. The parish is a statutory consultee, so what this committee resolves is formally sent to South Oxfordshire District Council, which decides. Recent objections have turned on overlooking, over-development, traffic and parking, and tandem parking as a breach of the Wheatley Neighbourhood Plan.
The playing fields, the closed churchyard, the allotments, Littleworth Field, trees and benches — the parts of the village nobody owns individually. Parking pressure on residential streets has been a recurring item here.
Meets in alternate months — January, March, May, July, September and November. Finance takes the other months on the same third Monday.
The council's money: the precept (the parish's share of your council tax), the budget, and what it is spent on.
Meets in alternate months — February, April, June, October and December, with no August meeting. Open Spaces takes the other months on the same third Monday.
Always check the day before you go
These are the regular meeting days, worked out from the calendar — not a live feed. Meetings get cancelled, moved for a holiday, or added as special sessions, and the room can change. Check the official meeting calendar for this week before you set out.
