Liss Parish Council (LPC) acts as a voice for the village on all major issues affecting the parish. It is made up of 13 members, of which 3 represent Liss Forest. The Council is supported by a Parish Clerk and 7 other full and part-time staff who undertake grounds maintenance, caretaking and administrative work.
The full council and sub-committee meetings are open to the public to attend and make public representation.
LPC is consulted by East Hampshire District Council and Hampshire County Council on many of their services and policies. In particular the Parish Council acts in an advisory capacity to the district council on planning applications affecting the village. It has also, in its own right, commented extensively on the Local Plan and also the proposed South Downs National Park. It has succeeded in obtaining major changes to both proposals for the long-term interests of Liss and will comment on future planning policies.
The Council maintains the West Liss and Liss Forest Recreation grounds, also the Newman Collard Playing Fields. All three areas have play areas with a range of equipment. There are also tennis courts at Newman Collard available to hire. The Council is responsible for the Village Hall, the West Liss Pavilion and six allotment sites available for hire or rent.
The Council supports a wide range of community groups and makes contributions to local capital projects.
The Council fully supported the Village Design Statement prepared by the Village Design Group in 2000, which has helped improve the design of new developments in Liss. It is now involved with villagers and amenity groups in preparing a Village Plan, which it is hoped will improve the village over the next 15 years.
The Council produces a regular newsletter, the "Village Voice" giving information about your community.
