Your Parish Council

 What is a Parish Council?

A Parish Council is an important tier of Government within the UK.  It is the smallest and most localised tier of government and is a properly constituted local authority.

Parish Councils are elected and can help on a number of local issues, like planning applications or running local sports grounds and community halls.

Bramfield and Thorington Parish Council

Bramfield and Thorington Parish Council has eleven Councillor positions - 6 of which are vacant. The Councillors give their time time freely to help enhance the village and support the village’s other organisations, for the benefit of all residents.

The Parish Council exists to help parishioners and be a point of contact for ideas and suggestions for improvements in the village. We have one employee, the Clerk, who manages all financial and administrative aspects in connection to council business.

Bramfield and Thorington Parish Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the values of the community and to enhancing the quality of village life.
