Welcome to the website of Bicton Parish Council

Formation and Early History

Bicton was constituted as an ecclesiastical parish in 1853 and later became a civil parish in 1885.  This transition marked the beginning of organised local governance in the area, allowing for more  structured community management  and representation. 

Bicton Parish Council

Bicton Parish Council comprises nine members (there is currently one vacancy) who are elected at local election times or co-opted if a vacancy becomes available between elections.

The Parish Council employs a Parish Clerk to organise the council and to form and take minutes at meetings.

Parish Council Meetings

The council meet on the second Tuesday of every month at the Village Hall at 7:30pm.  Parishioners are welcome attend to meetings to voice their opinions about any matters that concern them.

Meetings commence with an 'Open Forum' session where parishioners may raise matters that they feel warrant attention.  Many meetings are attended by Cllr Ed Potter, our Shropshire Council representative.

All matters concerning the Village and its residents are discussed including:
Bicton Primary School, Parish footpaths and bridleways, Local roads and safety, Planning
Community areas such as Muriel's Little Wood, Crime - local police information

Our Parish Goals and Priorities are set out in the Bicton Place Plan as proposed to Shropshire Council

All correspondence should be directed to the Interim Parish Clerk, Maxine Baker, by email to clerk@bictonparishcouncil.gov.uk or by post to, Adcote Lodge, Nibs Heath, Montford Bridge, SY4 1HL.  Telephone 07815 313709.

The Parish Council also hosts an Annual Parish Meeting, usually in May, which all residents are encouraged to attend. No council business is conducted at this meeting. Instead the Parish Council, the Village Hall and St John’s School report on the past year. The floor is then open to everyone to put forward ideas and voice their own priorities on local matters. Reports and minutes from previous Annual Parish Meetings can be found under the Annual Reports menu.
