Newsletter |
The Parish
Council is made up of nine Councillors and a Clerk
(email address).
There is currently a need for
1 new councillor
and
if you are interested you would be most welcome to attend a
meeting in order to gain an understanding of what is
involved. Alternatively contact the Clerk or Chairman for
more information.
The Council is responsible for the Recreation Ground, Horse
River Green, Coronation Green, Hall Garden, Jubilee Garden (at Fag End)
and the open spaces at Rookery Close and Pilgrim Close.
The Council is also responsible
for a number of street
lights in the village and will report faults and other
highways problems i.e. potholes, to the relevant authority
for action.
Each year the
Parish Council sets a budget, which is funded by the
residents by way of the precept payment to Uttlesford
District Council. For the coming year 2010/11 the budget has
been set at £41,500.
Further information can be found on the
village notice board in School Street (opposite the shop) and letters to
the Council may be posted in the blue box attached to this notice board.
