East Langton Parish Council needs you!

What does the Parish Council Do?
East Langton Parish Council has overall responsibility for the wellbeing of the community in the Parish. Our work falls into three main categories:
• Delivery of services
• Improve quality of life for residents
• Give the community a democratic voice
As well as commenting on planning applications we have updated the Neighbourhood Plan, established a wildflower verge project, installed public seating and dog bins and maintain them along with the public footpaths.
