Boughton Parish Council

The next meeting of the Parish Council will be held on 3rd May at 7pm and on the same evening we will also host the village Annual Parish Meeting from 7:30pm. This is an important public meeting, where priorities for the Parish Council are set.

We would like to see as many residents take part as possible. It is not a Parish Council meeting, but a village meeting. There is no set agenda, but the Parish Council will submit a number of reports on the work we have been doing on your behalf, and we will have a chance to discuss how residents see the village developing, including the pond and playground. This year we will also be discussing several environmental issues including dog fouling and asking residents to contribute to a map of “hot spots”.

Chair, Boughton Parish Council
