WELCOME TO FELSTED
Located in north-west Essex and with a population of around 3,000, the Parish of Felsted has at its heart the historic village of Felsted, surrounded by Greens and Hamlets, in a beautiful rural setting.
Felsted retains the underlying charm and attraction of a rural parish, with the community and village at its heart. This is what attracts people to the area and what we as the Parish Council see as our historic duty to protect. Preservation of our heritage is balanced with a duty to ensure that the Parish thrives and meets the future needs of our community.
Winner of RCCE Village of the Year 2015

Essex Safer Speeds Strategy – Consultation
A public consultation on the new draft Essex Safer Speeds Strategy has been launched.
The consultation runs for six weeks, closing on Sunday 26 April 2026.
Speed is the biggest factor in serious road traffic collisions in Essex.
To achieve the Vision Zero aspiration that no one should be killed or seriously injured on Essex roads by 2040, steps need to be taken to manage speeds, improve road design and support safer travel choices.
The new draft Essex Safer Speeds Strategy, developed in partnership with the Safer Essex Roads Partnership, will help introduce safer speeds across Essex, with recommended speed limits decided based on how different streets are used.
Residents are encouraged to provide feedback through the public consultation which will help refine and improve the strategy before it is finalised and adopted later this year.
For more information about the strategy and to take part in the consultation, please visit: https://consultations.essex.gov.uk/essex-highways/essex-safer-speeds-strategy
Alternatively, you can send a response by email to gro.syawhgihxesse@sdeepsrefas
Printed copies of the survey, consultation summary document and full draft strategy will soon be available in main libraries. They can also be requested by emailing gro.syawhgihxesse@sdeepsrefas
