St Peter's is classed as a 'prospering suburb' in the 2001 census - it is a predominantly residential suburban parish on the southern edge of Worcester City, comprising approximately 4300 electors and 2600 households. St Peter's Parish Council comprises 9 councillors and it forms the first tier of local government for St Peter's residents; the second tier being Worcester City Council and the 3rd tier Worcestershire County Council.
The vast majority of local council services are provided to St Peter's by the City or County Council although the Parish Council may often be the first point of contact for local residents. Your council is proactive ensuring good links with the City and County Council, police and other key organisations - to ensure that local residents views are communicated and services are effectively delivered. The Council takes a particular interest in all planning matters relating to St Peters (the City has to consult with the Parish) and the environment, including litter and green-space maintenance. We also provide financial support to the Village Hall, grants to local community groups and undertake projects for the benefit of the community that lie within our power.

This web site is part of the Parish Council strategy to communicate effectively with the residents of St Peters whom we are elected to represent. The web site provides agendas and minutes of the Parish Council meetings, contact details for your councillors and other useful information and links. It also provides an easy means for you to send comments to the council via the 'contact us' link or to any individual councillor.
Our web site policy can be found here.
