Consultation on proposed bench – Church Street/St Matthew’s Avenue
Worthington Parish Council is considering installing a public bench at the rear of the wide pavement near the junction of Church Street and St Matthew’s Avenue, either next to the Round House or on the opposite corner.
As part of the licensing process, the Council would like to hear from residents, particularly those living near the proposed location.
Please send any comments, whether in support of the proposal or raising concerns about the location, to consultation@worthington-pc.gov.uk by 31/7/26.
Please include “Proposed bench consultation” in the subject line

The Parish Council and Social Media
The parish council uses Facebook as a means to quickly inform the parishioners about various activities, issues in the parish, changes to meetings etc. and basically anything we think might be of interest.
Historically the council only used its website and noticeboards so this is a significant change. We recognise that not everybody will make a conscious decision to go to the parish council website on a regular basis and with Facebook notifications dropping onto your devices it becomes effortless.
From time to time parishioners will make comments or ask questions. Our social media policy (you can find this on our website) states “Worthington Parish Council runs its social media pages so that it can pass information on to residents quickly. Social media accounts will not necessarily be checked daily and posts will not necessarily be responded to. Worthington Parish Council’s social media accounts are primarily a tool to pass information on.”
Not all parish councillors use Facebook, and with posts being shared to village groups it can happen that posts disappear quite quickly. We are always keen to hear residents’ views but we don’t want to engage in discussions / debates on an informal communication medium.
Of course if someone asks for example about a meeting date, and we capture the comment, then it will be responded to but residents should be aware that comments or messages on social media are not recognized as legal or official notification to the parish council.
To ensure your concern/query, whatever it might be, is formally logged and responded to, please contact the Clerk directly by email clerk@worthington-pc.gov.uk. Please also be aware that, as a small parish council, our clerk Callum Bryant works part-time so your query may not be responded to immediately but rest assured he will come back to you as quickly as possible.
