Tarporley is a large village and civil parish in Cheshire, England.

Once a notorious traffic bottleneck it is now bypassed by the A49 and A51 roads, however, the village still has major issues regarding traffic through the High Street and Eaton Lane, this is mainly due to inadequate off street parking facilities and illegal parking. At the 2001 Census, the population was 2,634.[1] Tarporley forms part of Vale Royal borough.

There are two schools in Tarporley: Tarporley Community High School, and Tarporley Church of England Primary School.

[edit] Governance

[edit] Civic History

The Urban District of Tarporley was created in 1894 and was abolished in 1936.[2] From 1936 until 1974 Tarporley was a part of the Rural District of Northwich, until that district's abolition as a result of the Local Government Act 1972.[3] Since 1 April 1974 Tarporley has formed part of the borough of Vale Royal, within Cheshire. The village has civil parish status and its own parish council, giving it some limited local government autonomy. The parish council comprises 12 locally elected members.[4]

[edit] Political representation

Tarporley has been in the parliamentary constituency of Eddisbury since that constituency's re-establishment in 1983, following its abolition in 1950. Since 1999, the seat has been held by Stephen O'Brien, a member of the Conservative Party.
