Laverstock & Ford (incorporating Hampton Park and Old Sarum) Parish is a progressive community of four very different localities adjoining the City of Salisbury, Wiltshire. Click here for the Ordnance Survey 1896 map showing the Parish Boundary. The modern civil parish boundary has been superimposed. It was a very ancient historic association which first linked the localities in to one administrative Parish but what keeps us together is a sense of community. Our residents in the two thousand plus households prefer to be managed by the collective administration of the Parish Council rather than simply being part of an urban extension of the city.
Our recently completed Parish Plan is a good place to start if you want to know more about the Parish, its history and its aspirations for the future.
The Parish Council takes its responsibility of being the smallest unit of local government very seriously. It consults widely on important issues and believes very strongly that as well as being good at listening it must keep the residents well informed about what is happening around and about. Part of that process is our Parish Newsletter which is a bi-monthly publication. It reaches well over 2,850 households and businesses, including the neighbouring locality of Bishopdown Farm.
The website is also part of our determination to keep residents informed and to be receptive to the comments coming to us. If you are a resident and wish to make a comment please click on the 'contact us' box and email your views to the Parish Clerk.
Parish Council meetings are normally held on the third Monday of every month in St Andrew's School, Laverstock starting at 7pm. Anyone can attend and the first part of every meeting is open for public discussion. Please feel free to come along and be assured - WE ARE LISTENING.
We aim to provide details of our Parish and to act as a portal for other services and local activities on which you might need information. New items are currently being added. If there is an uncovered area which you think we should add, please email us at:
