Information about Wolston Parish Council
The Parish Council channels its efforts into bringing about positive changes.
Councillors get involved in the community and village organisations supporting each other in the common cause of serving the public. The Parish Council encourages members of the public to contact the Parish Clerk, or individual Councillors, or to come along to our monthly meetings and take advantage of the “Public Forum” session which precedes our formal session. It is very important that we all have the opportunity to have our say in the things that matter to us.
