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

Litter Pick and Bulb Planting this weekend
This Saturday, 10th October, the Parish Council is arranging another litter pick. If you are able to help please meet at the playing field car park at 10am. Just come along (all equipment will be provided) or contact the Parish Clerk for more details.
We have also purchased more daffodil bulbs. Those we planted this time last year made the Parish look lovely through Spring. If you can help by taking a few bulbs to plant in your area of the Parish then please contact Cllr Freeman.
These activities help make Felsted a great place to live. If you are able to spare some of your time to help your community then please do.

Essex Rural Partnership Launches Rural Strategy Questionnaire
The Essex Rural Partnership Rural Strategy Questionnaire is now live.
The team are aiming to get as many responses as possible to ensure that the new strategy is well-informed of people’s needs and views. The questionnaire can be completed on line and should take approximately 10 minutes.
The questionnaire can be accessed here.
The questionnaire will be live for 10 weeks, closing on 4th December. The questionnaire is open to be completed by anyone – as an individual, on behalf of a business, or on behalf of an organisation (a Council, a club, an association, etc).
Rent An Allotment Ready For 2016
Allotments are now available in the centre of the village opposite Bury Chase car park.
If ever there a time to get in early with your resolution to eat more healthily, get some exercise, and make some new friends, then it is now. Prepare the ground now and get those winter crops planted.
The allotments cost only £27 per year. This is repaid many times over in fresh vegetables and a cheap and healthy replacement for that never used gym membership.
Anyone interested should contact the Allotment Society Chairman, Val Westbrook at moc.kooltuo@reworgelbategev or on 01371 821470.
