About
The Parish Council was established in 1894. The village has changed substantially since then, but the Parish Council continues to work to make Micklefield a better place to live, work and visit. Our website includes a wealth of information about how we conduct business and what we do.
Find local groups and businesses in our community directory. Use the search or browse the site to find whatever you are looking for. If you can't find what you want or would like to recommend any improvements to our website then please contact us.
All Parish Council activities are governed by law, from time, location and number of meetings, to how its finances are managed and what we can spend money on. Whenever it makes a decision to do something, particularly if the decision involves spending money, the Parish Council must be sure that there is a law that supports this. If there isn't, then the Parish Council hasn't acted legally. If the Parish Council is not undertaking work that you think it should be, it might be because it does not have the legal power to do so.
Notice of all Parish Council meetings (ordinary and extraordinary), Committee meetings and meetings of the Trustee of Micklefield Recreation Ground Charity is posted in each village notice board at least three clear days before the meeting, as required by law. Though not a legal requirement, the Parish Council also posts an agenda of the business to be transacted at the meeting. Any other business of the Council, including legally required documents such as vacancy notices and audit notices, is also posted in the notice boards, so checking them regularly can help you keep up with Parish Council activities.

The Parish Council also has a Finance and Corporate Management Committee, which meets on the third Monday of February, June and October, in the I.T.
