We like to keep our residents updated with our latest decisions as a Parish Council. Here you will find both agendas and minutes for all of our meetings that are open to the residents who appear on the Drakelow Electoral Roll.
The Drakelow Parish Council exists to support the local community. Drakelow is growing fast but as yet we do not have knowledge of specific Drakelow based Community Groups. If you have a club or society within the Parish which you would like us to mention please send a note via the “Comments” section. A list of clubs within the wider area can be found under the “Our Community” heading.

We must be transparent with their financial documents and obligations. These can be found on our site, making it easier for you to contribute to local decision making and increase our democratic accountability.
