Publow with Pensford Parish Council:
These are permanent documents and can be accessed from the “About Your Parish Council” tab on the top menu bar.
Mr Paul Baxter is a Parish Councillor elected in 2015. He is currently circulating a document to residents wrongly alleging that Publow with Pensford Parish Council is not working in the best interests of parishioners, operating outside of government and legal guidelines and advising residents to vote to replace all existing members of the Parish Council.
Many of our existing Parish councillors have served voluntarily for many years and have given commendable service to the Parish. Apart from Mr Baxter, there are ten other Parish Councillors on the Parish Council from all walks of life and from all parts of the village.

The Parish Council is considering plans to support the development of affordable housing within the parish. Part of this process is to gauge the current need for affordable housing for local people to rent or buy.
The easiest way for us to work out how much affordable housing need there is in the parish, is for you to register interest on the Council’s Homesearch Register.
You can do this if you are looking to rent or buy an affordable home.
Please go to the Homesearch website to find out more and register for an affordable home.
We have just added a new series of walks in and around Pensford to our Parish Walks page. These have been brought to you by the Pensford Local History Group (PLHG).
