Governance Until recently, as well as Hockley Heath village (which is at the extreme south-eastern corner of the parish), the parish included Cheswick Green, Dickens Heath, Tidbury Green, Salter Street, and Whitlock's End. However following a community governance review, on 31 March 2009 the former Hockley Heath Parish Council was abolished and on 1 April 2009 four new parish councils were created: Hockley Heath (including Nuthurst), Cheswick Green, Dickens Heath (including Whitlock's End) and Tidbury Green. The new parishes follow the old ward boundaries for the Hockley Heath Parish and each parish now has a parish council. Following then creation of the new parish an by an uncontested election on 4 June 2009 the following 5 councillors were elected to the Parish Council, Paul Edward Afford, Stu Barbour, Christopher John Lang, Peter Trengrove Rayson, Assunta Maria Vernon and the chairman, Peter Rayson.
