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

March 31st: Felsted Post Office Opening hours
Please see the following message from Richard Silcock regarding the opening hours for the Post Office.
To all the good people of Felsted, I would like to say a big thank you for your support and understanding over the last couple of weeks. It’s been really difficult for all of us but we’re all gradually getting used to living 2 metres apart!
As you may be aware, Dunmow and Takeley Post Offices have closed and Rayne Post Office is closed in the afternoons. This has put considerable pressure on our Post Office, which in turn has made it very difficult for our customers to use the shop. To help alleviate this, from tomorrow April 1st (no; it’s not a wind up) the new Post Office trading hours will be:
Monday to Friday: 1-00pm to 5-30pm
Saturday & Sunday: CLOSED
This will allow our customers better access to the shop in the mornings and at weekends.
As I type this, Gt Waltham, Gt Leighs, Thaxted and Rayne Post Offices are open in the mornings but this may change at short notice.
With best wishes
Richard

Bogus Lifeline equipment scam
Lifeline is a personal alarm service available to older or more vulnerable people who want to stay in their own homes.
We’ve had reports of elderly residents being contacted by individuals claiming to be a representative of the council checking Lifeline equipment. Please be advised that, due to the coronavirus situation, no one from the council’s Lifeline service is currently making any visits to check equipment, even if a prior appointment has been made.
