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.

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.

Green waste collection
We have once again arranged for a weekly Green Waste collection service at Bannister Green.
The service will start on Sunday 7 April and run until 24 November 2019 (inclusive).
We have maintained the same day/time as last year, namely every Sunday between 9-10am.

Village litter pick – help keep Felsted tidy and healthy
We are holding our next little pick on Saturday 23rd March.
If you can come along and spend a little time helping keep our Parish clean, then meet in the Playing Field Car Park (off Jollyboys Lane North – CM6 3DU) anytime between 10am and 2pm.
You can choose which area you ‘pick’ and high viz vests will be provided, along with grabbers and refuse bags.
Any queries please ring Diane Smith (Clerk) on 01371 823071.
We continue to thank those who give their time to help in our regular litter picks. It really does make a difference. So, if you have been thinking about an odd hour you could spare to help the community, please come along.
Even if you can’t make the day, or perhaps you are a dog walker, please think about picking up that odd bit of litter you see, rather than walking past it, as every bit will help.
