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.

Uttlesford Community Safety Partnership’s knife amnesty 30th March
The Uttlesford Community Safety Partnership will be bringing the Op Sceptre knife amnesty bin to Felsted at the Memorial Hall between 12.30-13.30pm on 30th March.
The Partnership is providing a knife bin where all bladed items that people do not want or should not have can be disposed of safely and without fear of prosecution.
This is also an opportunity to raise awareness of new legislation which makes it illegal to possess certain weapons in private places, such as homes. This includes items such as knuckledusters, flick knives and telescopic truncheons.

Vandalism of Car Park Gate – Jolly Boys Lane North
Update: we are pleased to confirm that the gate has now been temporarily fixed to allow access to the car park.
*********************************************
We received news on Christmas Day that the gate to the car park at the top of Jolly Boys Lane North had been vandalised.
Barney, our village attendant, visited the site on Christmas Day morning to make the gate safe. It had been smashed open resulting in considerable damage. It was no longer possible to fix the gate either open or closed in the usual way. Barney has therefore tied it closed in order to secure it safely.
The result is that the car park cannot currently be accessed. Fencing companies are closed until the New Year so nothing further can be done until then. We apologise for the inevitable inconvenience caused as a result of the actions of thoughtless idiots.
The incident has been reported to police. If anyone knows anything about who caused the damage please do speak to the Police or the Parish Clerk.
