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

Uttlesford Local Plan update: call for sites assessment
Further to our previous news items regarding the Uttlesford Local Plan consultation process, with a request for help from Parishoners, we have now submitted the councils view on the accuracy of the assessment document for the 28 potential development sites identified for Felsed.
It is disappointing that only 1 resident came forward with information to assist the council in this important work.
Nevertheless, we have put in a significant amount of effort and time in reviewing the accuracy of the assessment.
The letter submitted by the Parish Council can be viewed here.
We have pointed out individual errors and highlighted the broad issues around implied access to facilities, including school places and the doctors’ surgery.
We remain vigilant and engaged with the Local Planning process to promote the best interests of the Parish.
Have you seen this man?
We have been asked to help in the search for a suspect in 2 recent local burglaries, in Bardfield Saling and Finchingfield.
If you recognise this man and have any info that will help the Police in their work, then please contact them.
Contact Braintree CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
Felsted in bloom
You cannot have failed to notice how colourful the parish is looking.
Alongside people taking pride and planting their own patch with spring bulbs, your Parish Councillors and council staff have been out and about. Between them they have, over the last 2 years, planted 6000 daffodil bulbs along our verges and around our parish signs. In addition, a group of volunteers have given their time to plant up and maintain flower tubs throughout the village.
In celebration of all this work, we have been capturing the results. Thank you to everyone and here’s to springtime.
