Quarrendon is a civil parish and is listed as such on the Bucks CC website Civil parishes. - Scribble Monkey (talk) 10:39, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I knew that was the case when I saw the changes last night, I just couldn't find the list on the County Council website. What I did find is that it doesn't have a parish council and I'm not sure if that matters or not to the accuracy of the article. -- role^player 12:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like Quarrendon normally has a Parish Meeting rather than a Parish Council, but the role of Parish Clerk is currently vacant. - Contact details for parish councils and meetings . - Scribble Monkey (talk) 12:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see. That would appear to suggest therefore that the info regarding the civil parish should indeed be re-inserted, and that the edit to List of civil parishes in Buckinghamshire be reverted. -- role^player 13:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all, If you look back on the article history you will see it was I that added the civil parish ref in June [1] based on the info on the Bucks CC site. Since then I have been progressively correcting / adding info boxes for the parishes where these were missing or the population data from 2001 census and the Lists of Parishes for the Districts. All was going well until I got to Quarrendon when I failed to find it listed in the COI database under Quarrendon Parish so I tried several post codes from the geographic area where the parish should be and all it produced was Aylesbury CP [2] with its northern edge sticking suspiciously out where I would have expected the Parish to be. So I looked at the Aylesbury TC site [3] and see Quarrendon as a ward. Further research unearthed this [4] which led me to conclude that the parish had very recently been incorporated largely into Aylesbury TC with the remainder of the parish included within other adjacent parishes. The evidence which nails this is to be found back on the COI site [5] which shows that the outline of the Quarrendon Ward is almost coterminus with the old parish boundary. The reference to a vacancy on the AV DC site is I think probably just down to the web administrator and Bucks have it listed on the parish page but not elsewhere. Hence my reversion. One interesting phrase in the notification of electoral wards, the pdf above, is the use of the term 'Parish ward'. Not familiar with this as terminology but concluded it is distinct from a civil parish, hope this helps explains the logic and actions. Tmol42 (talk) 20:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a comprehensive justification to me. Thanks for the info. - Scribble Monkey (talk) 00:15, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
