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

Essex Climate Action Commission
The Essex Climate Action Commission is looking to get the views of Essex residents
on a selection of the recommendations the Commission will make which will help
Essex become a net-zero county by 2050.
Since its inception in May 2020, the Commission has been developing
recommendations for ways in which Essex can tackle climate change.
Through the Commission’s consultation, launched on 16 March, it hopes to find out
how much public support there is for its recommendations, whether residents think
the focus is on the right areas, and if the recommendations have the right level of
ambition. Residents have until Tuesday 4th May to have their say.

Census field officers
Census field officers are now working in the community to remind everyone to complete their census and to signpost support.
Please share the following information with your community / client base so that residents are aware of the process and can avoid falling victim to anyone fraudulently claiming to be a census field officer.
All census officers:
- carry official identification cards with their photograph and name
- wear PPE, use hand sanitizer and socially distance
- can show a critical worker letter permitting them to be out and about doing their job
Any resident can call 0800 085 8239 to confirm the identity of a census officer and the area they are working in.
Census officers NEVER ask for money, bank details or any other financial information. They will NEVER ask to enter a home.
They work the following hours:
Monday – Saturday 09h00-20h00
Sundays and Bank Holidays 10h00-16h00
If any doubt, always close the door.
If a resident feels threatened or in danger, then they should call 999.
With thanks and kind regards,
