Welcome to the website of Uffington Parish Council.  The Parish Council generally meets on the second Monday of every other month (January, March, May, July, September and November) in the village hall.  A period of 15 minutes is set aside for the public to speak on parish matters at the start of each meeting. The agenda for the next meeting, and the minutes of the previous meeting, can be viewed under the headings "Minutes" and "Agendas" and might also be displayed on the noticeboard sited close to the church.

Contact details for your Councillors and the Clerk can be found here

A parish council is the lowest tier of local government, but the one closest to the people. It receives most of its funding by levying a precept upon the Council Tax bill issued by Shropshire Council. As parish councils were created in law, they can only exercise the powers and functions which have been conferred on them by Acts of Parliament.  Uffington Parish Council represents and serves the whole parish and therefore must balance the needs of different elements of all the community, utilising funds that can only be used for a limited number of purposes.  The Parish Council monitors all planning applications in the area and, where necessary, will support or object to a planning application on behalf of the parish based on the strength of local opinion.

Uffington is a small village and civil parish situated in the county of Shropshire.  The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 234.  It lies between Haughmond Hill and the River Severn, 3 miles east from the town centre of Shrewsbury.
