Datchet PC Meeting 8-12-2025
f. Consider a name change from ‘Datchet Parish Council’ to ‘Datchet Town Council’, with the final decision deferred (to allow public debate) until the meeting on 12 January 2026. (Cllr E. Larcombe) (paper)
NOTES: The proposed name change is legally straightforward and requires no involvement from the Royal Borough unless the council chooses the more complex community governance review route. The decision is ultimately about community identity and civic pride rather than substantive changes to governance or powers. The consultation period provides an important opportunity to ensure the decision reflects the community’s views and values.
