Welcome to Bretforton Parish Council

The Parish Council is the third tier of local government, after the County Council and the District Council, but it is a non-political body. It is at the "grass roots" and is in the best position to represent the views of the local community.

Bretforton Parish Council has ten Councillors, a Clerk and a Deputy Clerk. The full Council currently meets on the second Monday of every month. The meeting is preceeded by Open Forum which takes place between 7.15-7.30pm and is open to all to attend.
