Parish Councillor Vacancy

A vacancy has now arisen on the Parish Council and we are keen to hear from residents who would like to get involved and make a difference locally. Becoming a Parish Councillor is a rewarding way to serve the community, influence local decisions, and help shape the future of the parish. If you have an interest in local issues and a willingness to contribute, please get in touch to find out more. Expressions of interest should be made to the Parish Clerk or to any of the current councillors, who will be happy to have an informal conversation.

Parish Emergency Toolkit

Emergencies are rare, but when they do happen they can affect rural communities like Kirkby Ireleth more quickly and for longer than elsewhere. Power cuts, flooding, severe weather, road closures or loss of communications can all disrupt normal services. This Parish Emergency Toolkit has been produced to help residents prepare in advance, know where to find reliable information, and understand how our community can support one another until normal services are restored. It offers practical guidance, key contact details, and local information to help keep people safe, connected, and resilient during periods of disruption.
