Meet Your Parish Councillors

Wilberfoss Parish Council is made up of local people who give their time to look after the interests of the village. Councillors are residents like you, and they are the first level of local government in the parish.

What parish councillors do

• Represent the views of residents at council meetings
• Comment on planning applications affecting the parish
• Help look after village assets such as notice boards, open spaces and the pavilion area
• Pass on concerns about roads, streetlights and other services to East Riding of Yorkshire Council
• Support local groups and community events

How to contact your councillors

The simplest way to reach the council is through the Parish Clerk, who will make sure your message gets to the right person. You can email [email protected] or use our contact page.

Come along to a meeting

Parish Council meetings take place on the third Thursday of every month at 7:30pm in the Community Centre on Main Street, unless a change is needed. A short window is offered before the meeting for members of the public to raise issues or speak about items on the agenda. Details are on our meetings page.

If you have ever thought about becoming a councillor, please talk to the Parish Clerk. New people and fresh ideas are always welcome.

Why it matters

Parish councils are the closest tier of government to residents. Although they are small, they have a real say in local matters, and they can speak up for the village when larger bodies such as East Riding of Yorkshire Council make decisions. Councillors give their time freely, so a polite, clear message helps them to help you.

Notices and agendas are posted on the notice boards on Main Street and Willow Park Road, so you can see what is coming up before each meeting.
