Chipping Campden is a small market town nestling in a fold in the hills in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is often referred to as "the Jewel of the Cotswolds". Our High Street is famous for its elegant terraced houses made from honey-coloured Cotswold limestone.
The architecture of the High Street dates from the 14th to the 17th Century and the entire centre of the Town is a Conservation Area. Administratively, we are situated in the Campden Vale Ward of Cotswold District Council in Gloucestershire. The Town Council is responsible for providing a number of facilities within the Town including the allotments on Aston Road and the cemetery at West End Terrace. It is also responsible for the maintenance of St. James' churchyard and as the Sole Managing Trustee of two of the town's trusts it is responsible for the Grade II* listed Town Hall, the War Memorial Green (designed by the famous architect F.L. Griggs), the Town Square car park and The Playing Field and Recreation Grounds at George Lane and Castle Gardens.
We are also a statutory consultee on planning applications that are made to Cotswold District Council and our team of Councillors and Volunteers are currently working on our draft Neighbourhood Development Plan.

Cotswold District Council announces new leisure and cultural facilities provider
Freedom Leisure will be the new provider for the leisure and cultural facilities in the District, this includes three leisure centres and the Corinium Museum & Resource Centre.
Cllr Paul Hodgkinson, Cabinet Member for Health, Leisure and Culture, said: "After a very thorough procurement process we are pleased to say Freedom Leisure will be the new provider for our leisure centres and the Corinium Museum. More »
"The health and wellbeing of our residents is a top priority so it was important to make sure we picked the best operator for our leisure and cultural services. We are very much looking forward to working with Freedom Leisure.
"Cotswold District Council have worked hard over the past few years to invest in our leisure centres, this has included upgrading all the gym equipment last year, along with installing energy saving equipment which has reduced the councils carbon footprint by 30% and made the centres more efficient to run.
"As part of this new contract with Freedom Leisure we will be investing a further £1.2m to improve the leisure centres in Cirencester and Bourton for residents."
Our current leisure and culture providers are SLM Everyone Active. Freedom Leisure will be taking over from SLM Everyone Active on Tuesday 1 August.
Disruption will be kept to a minimum whilst this transition takes place.
If you are already a member of the leisure centres, your details will be provided to Freedom Leisure as part of the transfer process so you will continue to be able to access all the facilities included in your membership.
All lessons and classes will carry on running as usual.
Ivan Horsfall Turner, Freedom Leisure CEO, said: "We are delighted to have been awarded both the leisure and cultural contracts and are excited to get started in the Cotswolds. Our vision is to 'improve lives through leisure' and we very much look forward to working with our new colleagues at these vitally important local amenities.
"We have committed to a number of projects which we believe will not only improve the facilities and services on offer but also have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of the local community."
Freedom Leisure are one of the UK's leading charitable and not-for-profit leisure trusts that manages over 100 leisure and cultural facilities on behalf of client partners across England and Wales.
