The City Council has recently completed a Community Governance Review and the recommendations were approved at the Full Council meeting on 22nd March 2022. The recommendations will be implemented ahead of the city and parish elections in May 2023.
A formal legal order has now been completed for the creation of two new local councils, namely Chelmer Village Council and Chelmsford Garden Community Council, on 1 April 2023. To help smooth the transfer of responsibilities, two shadow councils have been created.
All Channels residents will, from 1st April 2023, sit in a newly created Chelmsford Garden Community Council.
More information, including those sitting on the Chelmsford Garden Community Shadow Council, can be found on the City Council Website.
