What We Do...

The Parish Council is the third tier of local government, after the Borough Council and the County Council, but it is a non-political body. It is at the grass roots and as such is in the best position to understand and represent the views of the local community.

Below are some of the activities Roughlee Booth Parish Council currently carries out for the benefit of the Village:

• As Custodian Trustees of the Village Centre, it supports the Management Committee in maintaining the building.
• Considers all planning applications relating to Roughlee, and makes comments as appropriate to the Borough Council.
• Seeks grants for various environment projects throughout the Village.
• Maintains bus shelters.
• Maintains garden areas and grass verges
• Via the Lengsthsman scheme, maintains and waymarks public footpaths and bridleways.
• Maintains seats and benches in the Village.
• Provides Noticeboards at the Village Centre, Happy Valley and Noggarth Road.
• Undertakes special projects such as setting up this website.
