Foulridge Parish Council meets once a month in the Village Hall, Parkinson Street, Foulridge BB8 7PS, and the public are welcome to attend. Anyone wishing to speak at a meeting should contact our clerk before 12.00pm on the day of the meeting. The date of the next meeting is published both on this web site and on the Parish Council notice board outside the Village Hall, as are Minutes and Agenda.
Parish Councillors give their services for free, with the exception of the Chairman who receives an annual allowance to cover the cost of phone calls, postage etc. The Chairmanship rotates annually. We are a non-political body, and liaise with Pendle Borough Council, Lancashire County Council, Lancashire Constabulary, the Fire Service and NHS Trust North West Ambulances to ensure that Foulridge receives a proper level of services.
As the primary level of local government, our duties include:
Receiving planning applications and making recommendations to Pendle Council
Annually letting out our Allotments, Grazing Land and Sports Fields
Maintaining roadside verges and wayside seats
We own our Village Hall, and we administer it through our Village Hall Committee, which provides an annual Christmas Party for our Senior Citizens
We have a Five Year Plan of Projects which we think will benefit and enhance our village
We have recently formed Noyna Publishing to publish our Honorary Village Historian Fay Oldland's new book, The Story of Foulridge, 2nd Edition
