Welcome to the Mepal Parish Council Website providing information about Mepal and the activities of the Parish Council.

Polite Reminder – Footpaths
Please keep to the designated footpaths at all times and follow the marked route. A footpath map for Mepal can be found here. Respect the land you are walking through – this is working countryside. Be mindful of crops, livestock and avoid disturbing wildlife. Always leave gates closed and secure. Take extra care around livestock. Keep dogs on leads and under control and ensure they do not chase or worry animals. Thank you for helping to protect the land and support those who manage it.
The Parish Council is the tier of Local Government closest to the people. The next tier is the East Cambridgeshire District Council.
The latest County and District Councillor reports will be found on the Local Government page here.
On this website we outline the role and services provided by the Parish Council along with the details of our councillors. We provide you with the dates of our meetings and copies of the agendas and minutes.
This site will enable you to find out about our community and understand the roles and responsibilities of the Parish Council. It is our intention to enable more residents to play an active role in the community, participate in more.
We would like to apologise to the attendees for the meeting cancellation on July 29th due to an unexpected lack of quorum. The Clerk, Chair and one attending Councillor were not notified of the issues until after the scheduled meeting was due to start and due to the numbers of members of the public present, offered the attendees an opportunity to speak to listen to their concerns. Unfortunately due to Councillor availability during August it will not be possible to reschedule the July meeting and so the next Full Council meeting will be held in the Pavilion on the Recreation Field (Witcham Road entrance) on Wednesday 9th September 2026 at 6:30pm.
At the September Parish Council meeting, the Council will present an overview of the current year’s budget, which was approved in December 2025, following requests from residents for more information and transparency. Please do come along if you can. It’s a great opportunity to better understand how this year’s budget is being used and to help the Council plan priorities for the coming year in a way that best meets the needs of our community. We look forward to seeing you there.
The Agenda for both meetings will be linked here a minimum of 3 clear days before the day of the meeting.
Draft minutes are normally available 7-10 days after each meeting
Latest available minutes:
Visit the Meetings Page for all previous meeting information or check all documents for latest additions (due to resource issues the meetings page or this page may be updated later than the minutes are issued and available under all documents).
Parish Council Meetings are held in the Community Pavilion located at the end of the Recreation Field close to Witcham Road. Please contact the Clerk should you have a matter you would like addressing during the time interval between meetings.
