As the first level of democracy in the UK, Parish Councils have many duties. Add to this the need for transparency and we are reminded that the often-overlooked website is a key part of a Parish Council’s ability to carry out these duties in a compliant manner. 

Wouldham Parish Council Vision Statement 2024/2025

Wouldham Parish Council’s vision is to improve the quality of life for everyone who lives, works and travels through Wouldham Parish, both now and in the future.
