About The Council

Membury is an ancient village with a lively modern community, situated in East Devon’s Blackdown Hills.


The parish council represents the residents of Membury Parish on local issues. Council functions include: emergency planning for flooding and snow, grass cutting, war memorial maintenance, the playing field (working with the playing field association), car park maintenance, footpath monitoring and maintenance, management of the Quaker burial ground. The council also sponsors the village Neighbourhood Plan.


Planning application decisions are made by East Devon District Council, and highways maintenance (including drains, gullies and potholes) is the responsibility of Devon County Council


Parish council meetings are held approximately every 6 weeks, usually on a Tuesday night, in the Village Hall, starting at 7.30pm.


Meetings are open to everyone, and all parishioners are invited to attend. There is a public forum at the end of every meeting; alternatively you can raise questions in advance of a meeting through the clerk or any of the councillors.


You can find the minutes for 2023 / 2024 here.

Footpaths

Our parish contains 18 miles of footpaths through some beautiful countryside. We maintain these in liaison with Devon County Council. As well as regular repairs, we are looking at replacing stiles with gates when possible, to make access easier for everyone.
