Welcome to the Northill Parish Council Website

We hope that you will find our website interesting and informative.

Northill Parish Council was formed on the 4th of December 1894 and has been meeting regularly ever since. We celebrated our centenary in 1994 with various events including a special service held in the St Mary Virgin Church, Northill, planting of over 100 trees around the parish and holding a competition to design a centenary logo. Northill Parish Council are proud to have been awarded quality status in February 2008. During late 2009 we were also awarded the "Power of Well-Being" (please click here to view our Statement of intent). We adopted the Model Publication Scheme in October 2011 - see link left on the navigation bar.

This Council has many responsibilities, ranging from street lighting, grass cutting and planning matters to name but a few. Some of these we deal with on behalf of or in partnership with other Government Departments.

Our Parish covers a number of villages and hamlets (please click here to view a map of our area) which of course means that there are always plenty of things to do, meetings to attend, correspondence to reply to and problems to solve. There are 12 Parish Councillors which makes it easier to spread the workload and gives everybody access to a point of contact. We hold our meetings on a regular basis and these are attended by members of the Parish Council, representatives from Central Bedfordshire Council and our Local Police Beat Manager.

Your Parish Clerk writes a newsletter once a quarter which is distributed to every household in our parish. Click here for the Winter 2012 edition.

Why not take a look at the excellent THINC report (click"Parish Plan" on the left). Much good work has gone into this plan and you may wish comment on its content.

May Day on Ickwell Green is a major highlight in the Parish Calendar. This year's event on 7th May will crown Amelia Murray as May Queen. Click the link to visit the new website.
