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.

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.
Local Bus Service Network Review Consultation: impact on Felsted
Essex County Council are running a Local Bus Service Network Review Consultation from 17 September to 21 October.
The review is suggesting fewer Sunday buses on the 133 route and also withdrawing the 314 and replacing it with an on-demand service, so the potential changes will directly affect Felsted residents.
Paper copies of the questionnaire are available from the Felsted Parish Council office for residents who do not want to complete the questionnaire on-line.
