PARISH COUNCIL VACANCIES
Following the May 2025 election, at which 11 people stood and were elected, there are no vacancies on the council. The next election is due to take place in May 2029 when anyone eligible can stand for election. Any vacancies arising before then, due for example to current Members resigning, will be advertised on the parish council website and noticeboard. Members of the public are always very welcome to attend the parish council's monthly meetings, either to simply listen or to speak in the public session part of the meeting.
WEST FELTON CONSERVATION AREA
Following an exhibition in the village hall, to which there were 70 responses, Shropshire Council considered the application for Conservation Area status and the Parish Council is delighted that status was granted. This will help to protect the village from inappropriate development. If you missed the fascinating exhibition on the historic development of your village, recently discovered after extensive research, you can see it here:
