Essex County Council have recently launched the summer of volunteering campaign across Essex which will run until the end of September 2023.

This is aimed at encouraging residents across the County to volunteer this summer and a chance to highlight and celebrate some of the fantastic work that takes place across Essex.
Volunteering for just a few hours can make a huge difference to communities across Essex.

The benefits of volunteering include a sense of pride, an opportunity to make new friends and the chance to learn new skills and gain work experience.

The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is asking for your views on the electoral review of Essex. The review will agree new electoral divisions across the county council.

• Do you have suggestions about where your division boundaries should be?
• Where do people in your area go to access local facilities, such as shops and leisure activities?

Felsted is currently in the Thaxted division and the results of the consultation could lead to Felsted moving into another district in Essex. It is therefore very important to have your say.

The consultation closes on 5th June 2023
