BAGINTON PARISH COUNCIL

Baginton Parish Council aims to serve the entire community of the parish by providing useful services that are value for money. We aim to be both proactive by anticipating the needs of the community, and responsive to issues that parishioners are concerned about. The Parish Council seeks to engage with all sectors of the community, without privileging any single group, and, in particular, aims to support village organizations.
Meetings are usually held in the Village Hall on the first Thursday of each month at 7.30pm. A full list of dates can be found on the parish notice boards. Members of the public and press are invited to attend the meetings.
