Blackthorn Parish Council – Our Vision for Blackthorn To support the vibrant and growing, “boundary community” (characteristically rural, however within close distance of a provincial town/city) of Blackthorn, based upon principles of integration and respect. The council wishes to represent the widest of community opinion, debate priority issues and within the powers invested to it, do the best it can to provide accessible parish services in an accountable manner – in short, we are here to support YOU. The following sections explain a little further, how BPC fits into the bigger County and City council picture, its powers, who your councillors are and current issues/projects. We look forward to your continued interest and support, to ensure TOGETHER, we can nurture a vibrant Blackthorn Village for the 21st Century
