Handley and District Parish Council serves the rural communities of Handley, Chowley, Milton Green and Golborne David in Cheshire. Our parish is a small, close knit community of just over 300 residents, set in beautiful countryside around seven miles south east of Chester, near the A41.

We work to represent the interests of our residents, maintain a strong sense of community and help to ensure our parish remains a wonderful place to live, work and visit.

Handley Rural charm and open countryside, home to All Saints Church
