The Parish Council Needs You
We would like to thank Neil Francis, who recently stepped down from his role as Parish Councillor, for his commitment and support on our Communications Committee and with events. We wish Neil all the best for the future.
The Parish Council now has two vacancies for the role of Parish Councillor. Do you have some spare time, would you like to be more involved in the Community? If so this could be the role for you.
Concerned about traffic and road issues? Our Traffic and Transport Committee are working on several initiatives to make Bearsted safer.
Enjoy local community events? Our Communications Committee are involved in several events and are always looking for new innovative ways to communicate with residents.
Bearsted Village – our Environment Committee is involved in maintaining and improving our open spaces, play areas, the village Green, benches, memorials, and many more assets.
We also have a Planning Committee, HR Committee and Finance Working Group – could you bring some expertise in these areas?
If this sounds interesting and you would like some more information, please contact the Parish Clerk at clerk@bearstedparishcouncil.gov.uk or call 01622 630165 or pop into the office for a chat.
