Meeting Documents and Annual Report:

Parish Council

Bramford Parish Council meets on the third Monday of each month in the Parish room attached to the Old School - pictured here. All parishioners are welcome to attend the meetings as observers and time is set aside early in the meeting for their comments if they wish to contribute. Agendas for the meetings are posted on the two village notice boards opposite the Angel PN and at Gables Corner.

There are about 2,500 residents living mainly in the and around the village centre and the Council is responsible for raising the parish rate on all residents and using it to maintain and support the cemetery, churchyard, allotments, street lighting and cleaning, car parks, bus shelters, village hall and playing fields.

In addition it examines planning applications sent to Mid Suffolk District Council and advises that body of the local view regarding those applications. If there is a short time limit some applications are dealt with at additional meetings.

The council appoints representatives to the Village Hall and Playing Field committees and has footpath and tree wardens to inspect for safety and other issues. It is involved with other local councils, societys and groups to cooperate on traffic and other topics of mutual interest.

The current councillors are listed on the contacts page of this site or can be found in the Bramford Directory which was issued to all households and businesses in the village in 2006.
