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.

End of Zoom Council Meetings
Following the recent court judgement, from May 7th 2021 all meetings of the Council must be held as physical, face to face meetings.
Therefore, the May meetings of Chipping Campden Town Council and the Planning Committee will take place in the Upper Town Hall, High Street, Chipping Campden on May 18th at 1800 for the Planning Committee and 1930 for the Town Council.
As always, members of the public are invited to attend and listen to the meeting and ask questions during the period of public participation. However, due to the need to limit numbers in the room to comply with social distancing requirements we would request that organisations and interested groups only send one representative. More »
In addition, due to the fact that the Council has been instructed to make the physical meetings as short in time as possible (up to one hour), we have been advised to restrict public participation to items on the agenda and to ask members of the public to submit their question in writing prior to the meetings. Questions should be emailed to the Clerk (clerk@chippingcampden-tc.gov.uk) before 12 noon on the day of the meeting.
In order to comply with the "track and trace" legislation we must also ask members of the public who physically attend the meeting to complete a contact form (please see link below) and bring it with them to the meeting.
We hope that the government will reconsider its decision to disallow virtual meetings of the Council as we have been extremely heartened by the increased interest, participation and support from the public which the Zoom meetings have facilitated. We hope that the public will continue to take an active interest in the Council now that we must return to physical meetings. » Less
