Who We Are

(current at 13 January 2024)

The Parish is allocated five Councilors to represent it with both Uttlesford District Council and Essex County Council.

District Elections are held every four years.

May 2023 Election Result:

However, as only three people were nominated for the election process, a formal election was not required and the three nominees were appointed, as the result of an uncontested election, by Uttlesford District Council.

The outstanding two vacancies may be filled by subsequent co-option by the three elected Councilors.
