The Township Office seeks to encourage and assist community
input into local decision-making. This is being achieved through
the Heywood Township Committees and Local Partnerships,
which look at issues that directly affect people's lives such as
housing, the environment, family support and leisure provision. All
Heywood residents are welcome to attend Township meetings, so if
you want to be kept informed and engaged in matters affecting your
town, contact the Township Office.
