About Us Allotments: The Parish Council provides 11 allotments, each approximately 20 feet by 70 feet. The rental is currently £10.00 per plot per year. Should you wish to rent an allotment, please contact the Clerk. Consultation: The Parish Council responds to numerous consultation documents on behalf of parishioners. Topics covered include: Health, transport, planning, the environment, education, housing, sport and leisure. Finance: The Parish Council calculates its budget requirement in January each year and an appropriate precept is made on the District Council for the sum required. Grants: The Parish Council frequently makes grants to other organisations in the parish. Purleigh Pre-school Playgroup, Purleigh Village Hall Committee, All Saints Church, and Purleigh Croquet Club have all received grants in this way. In addition, the Parish Council currently subsidises the cost of swimming lessons at Purleigh Community Primary School for the children of Purleigh parishioners, and grant aids the Knightswood Satellite Service (which provides a bus and driver once a fortnight to take Purleigh residents over the age of 60 out to a local venue for lunch etc). Grasscutting: The Parish Council is responsible for cutting the grass at the following locations: The Playing Field; Purleigh Village Hall (grass and front hedge); The verge alongside Church Hill from Fairfields to the Village sign; All Saints Churchyard, including the roadside verge from the Church entrance to The Bell; and the cemetery opposite All Saints Church. The Parish Council also owns and maintains the War Memorial and its garden, the Common at Farther Howe Green and Rigby’s Path. Pavilion and Playing Field: The Parish Council owns and manages the Pavilion and Playing Field, including the Children’s Play Area. These areas are treated as community assets and the Parish Council strives to maintain them to the highest standard. Planning: The Parish Council makes a recommendation to Maldon District Council on every Purleigh planning application. Maldon District Council is the Planning Authority however, and it alone has the power to determine whether a planning application is granted or refused. For highway matters please contact Essex County Council on 01268 771458. For verge cutting please contact Maldon District Council on 01621 875823 For planning, environmental health, refuse collection, flytipping and recycling, please contact Maldon District Council on 01621 854477.
