Foxley Group of Parish Councils

About Us

Foxley Group Parish council is an administrative group that comprises three local parishes - Brinsop & Wormsley, Mansel Lacy and Yazor - with a total population of around 300 residents spread across an area of almost 9.5 square miles.

As the lowest tier of local government, the Parish Council is an elected body with limited tax raising powers that receives funding by levying a “precept” on the council tax paid by the residents of the parishes covered by the council. The Parish council is made up of unpaid councillors who are elected to serve for four years and where a casual vacancy may be filled by either a by-election or co-option.
