Welcome to Longwick-cum-Ilmer Parish Council’s Website

We hope you find this a useful and informative source of local information. Whether you're a long-standing resident or new to the area, this site is designed to help you stay connected with parish matters, services, and events.

Parish Council meetings usually take place on the third Tuesday of each month, except in August when the Parish Council does not meet. The first ten minutes of each meeting are open to the public, offering an opportunity to raise questions or share views on items listed on the agenda. Residents are warmly encouraged to attend and observe the remainder of the meeting.

On our website, you'll find details about your councillors, planning applications, local initiatives, and how to report issues such as potholes or fly-tipping. We also provide links to public transport timetables, community groups, and other services that support everyday life in the parish.

The Council is committed to transparency, fairness, and inclusivity. We aim to make our processes clear and accessible, and we welcome feedback to help improve how we serve the community.

If you have any questions, need assistance, or wish to raise a matter with the Council, please contact the Parish Clerk. You can reach the Clerk by email or phone—details are available on the Contact Us page.
