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.

Vacancy to lock and unlock the Car Park and Public Conveniences in Felsted
Are you looking for a part time role, and are available 7 days a week, morning and evening, to unlock and lock the public conveniences and the car park gate at the main playing field in the centre of Felsted?
If the answer to these questions is ‘YES’ then we could have the role for you.
The Council is looking to employ someone to unlock the toilets and car park gate every morning at 8am and lock them again at 8pm (or at dusk if earlier during the winter months). The role is 7 days a week. Cover can be provided for holidays etc.
We also need someone to keep the public conveniences clean, replenish the consumables and generally monitor the area and report any problems to the Clerk. This would involve 2 or 3 visits per week (times and days to be agreed).
If you are interested in taking on either, or both, of these paid roles please contact the Clerk, Diane Smith, on 01371 823071 or at ku.vog.cp-detslef @krelc for further details.

22nd May: Pop-up Post Office opening times
Please see the following news from Linsells about a new pop-up Post Office:
To all our customers I would like to say a big thank you for your patience, support and understanding over the last couple of months. It is a difficult time for all of us as we get used to the “New Normal”!
Please accept my apologies for the reduced service we have offered in the Post Office recently. As you may recall, we had to reduce the opening hours of the Post Office to help us maintain social distancing, because we were being swamped by people from the surrounding area, due to Post Offices such as Dunmow and Takeley being closed.
As and when Dunmow and other Post Offices start to re-open, thus reducing pressure on us, I hope to be able start increasing the opening hours of Felsted Post Office. In the meantime, the British Legion have kindly offered to let us use part of their building in the centre of the village to set up a temporary Pop Up Post Office. Unfortunately, we will not be able to process cash transactions in the Pop Up Post Office but we will be able to provide all services that can be completed by card, which includes a full Post Service.
The temporary Pop Up Post Office will be available in the British Legion from Wednesday 27th May.
From Tuesday 26th May, Felsted Post Office will be open as detailed below:
Post Office (Linsells)
Tuesday 1-00pm to 5-00pm
Thursday 1-00pm to 5-00pm
Saturday & Sunday Closed
Pop Up Post Office
(Located in the British Legion – Card Payments Only)
Mon, Wed & Fri 12-00pm to 4-00pm
We look forward to welcoming you in the British Legion.
Best wishes – Richard
