East Farleigh Parish Council

Maidstone, Kent

Welcome to East Farleigh Parish Council

We are the first tier of local government, closest to the people that live in our village. Responsible for most local matters such as –

-Representing the electorate of the Parish as a whole.

-Delivering services to meet local needs.

-Cherishing our history and historic monuments.

-Keeping residents informed.

-Striving to improve quality of life in the parish

Within our legal powers we are also responsible for matters such as traffic related issues, litter bins , footpaths and the general maintenance of public space. We also review and comment on planning matters.

The Council raises a sum of money, called a “precept”, which is collected with the Council tax each year. This is used to fund these activities, and to maintain and improve facilities and services for the Parish.

East Farleigh Parish Council meet monthly. The meetings always start with a public session allowing members of the Parish to attend and raise items of interest or concern. We look forward to seeing you there.

Parish Councillors are elected every four years. If you are interested in finding out how to become a Councillor please contact our Clerk who will be happy to provide details.
