Parish Council

East Cowton Parish Council exists to serve the public of the community of East Cowton.

East Cowton Parish Council is an independent unit of democracy whose members are elected for four years at a time. The last election was in May 2025.

The powers available to Parish Councils are laid down in law and East Cowton Parish Council has developed its own role in response to the needs and demands of residents and organisations in the Parish.

To cover the cost of work done, the Parish Council is empowered to raise the necessary funds from residents in the parish by means of an annual ’precept’ collected as part of Council Tax.
