Moretonhampstead Parish Council is the first tier of local government and the one closest to the community, serving Moretonhampstead’s residents, businesses and visitors. The Parish Council operates at a level below the District and County Councils and can help on a number of local issues, such as providing play areas and grants to help local organisations. The Council also maintain the open spaces in Moretonhampstead, such as the Churchyard and the Sentry. Please take a look around; we’d love to hear from you, so please get in touch.
