Bourton-on-the-Water Parish Council

Welcome to the Bourton-on-the-Water Parish Council website, created to enable those who use our village, as residents or visitors, to access practical information about the Parish Council, the village and the local area.

Bourton-on-the-Water is valued for its attractive architecture, large village green and the river, all of which combine to make it a uniquely appealing place to visit. Our village also has a large resident population of over 3,500 and maintains a vibrant community at its heart.             

The parish councillors all give their time on a voluntary basis and work hard to ensure that the village continues to be a pleasant place to live, work and visit. As the third tier of local government, operating below Cotswold District Council and Gloucestershire County Council, all councillors are appointed via elections held every four years. 

Visitors to the website can access information about the various areas of Council's business via the links on the navigation bar above.

We hope that you find this website a useful and interesting resource. If you have any suggestions for additional information that we could include, do please let us know. 

Please note that the Parish Council now sells beige refuse sacks and garden refuse sacks from its office in The George Moore Community Centre.  We also have a small stock of spare blue cardboard recycling bags and white plastic recycling bags available.
