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.

Felsted Parish Council vacancy
This Thursday, 2nd May will see the election of Parish and District Councils.
Unfortunately, with only 10 applicants for 11 positions, we have not received sufficient interest to trigger a Parish Council election in Felsted.
It of course also means that we have a vacancy on the Parish Council.
If you are interested and would like more details please contact our Clerk for details.

Station Road closure for 6 nights from today
Please see the following announcement from the Essex Streetworks Team:
ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 – SECTION 14(1)
Temporary Traffic Regulation Order of Station Road, Felsted.
Please click on the following link https://roadworks.org?tm=113043654 to find details of the closure of Station Road, due to commence on 24th April 2019 for 6 nights.
The closure point is at the entrance to the village and will result in a diversion via Stebbing Road.
The closure is required for the safety of the public and workforce while Essex County Council undertakes patching works for surfacing dressing.
Village Litter pick a success
The village litter pick held last Saturday was yet again a massive success.
It is sad that we need our volunteers, led by our Parish Clerk, Diane, to give their time to clear up the rubbish others decide to discard around our village.
However, need them we do. In just a few hours they collected 24 bags of rubbish plus a door, an 8′ long kitchen plinth and assorted pieces of broken car body panels.
Uttlesford District Council has also purchased 5 new vehicles to support two dedicated litter picking teams, who will operate throughout the District where there are trouble spots.
If you see people dumping litter, or fly tipping, please let us know, with as many details as it is safe to take. It is wrong that we should need volunteers to pick up rubbish, and even worse that our Council Tax should be needed to buy extra vehicles to clean up our villages after people who simply don’t care.
