Parish Clerk

In 1999 the village of Beck Row together with Holywell Row, Kenny Hill and Burnt Fen formed its own Parish Council. Prior to this date, the villages had been represented by elected members on the Mildenhall Parish Council. The formation of a separate Parish Council followed eight years of discussion and negotiation with the population, Mildenhall Parish Council, Forest Heath District Council and the Boundary Commission.

Several years prior to the formation of the Parish Council, the Beck Row Community Association was created to reflect the interests and wishes of local inhabitants. The Association was – and is – made up of representatives from local clubs and organisations that are constantly busy. As the result of many years of fund-raising events and a weekly Lottery the Community Centre was built adjoining the Primary School. The building is now regularly used as a meeting place and serves as a focal point for village, school and private events.
