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.

Rent an allotment for Spring
Allotments are now available in the centre of the village opposite Bury Chase car park.
If ever there a time to back up that resolution to eat more healthily, get some exercise, and make some new friends, then it is now.
The ground is warming up and now is the perfect time to get seeds 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.
Station Road roadworks
We have been informed by our County Councillor that, commencing next week, Station Road will be reduced to a single lane, so that pipes can be laid between the Skip Yard development site entrance and Flitch Green.
We understand that a contraflow system will be in operation for some weeks, This will inevitably cause delays, particularly during peak periods, affecting commuter and school traffic.
