The Parish Council is made up of 5 councillors who all live in Little Ellingham and represent the village on various matters.  Parish Councils are effectively the third tier of local government, the other two being Norfolk County Council and Breckland District Council.

There is a Parish Councillor Vacancy, please contact the Clerk if you would be interested in joining the team.

The Parish Clerk is responsible for the smooth running of the Council’s business, for example; they implement the decisions of the Parish Council.  They are the first point of contact for the Council and all correspondence comes to the Clerk initially.  The Clerk is also responsible for the financial management of the Council’s money.

​The Parish Council usually meets 6 times a year, on the first Wednesday of every other month (January, March, May, July, September and November).  However, there are occasions when extraordinary meetings are called due to issues which require attention prior to the next scheduled meeting.   

​Meetings are held in the Village Hall at 7.30pm.  There is an open forum at the beginning of meetings whereby the public are allowed to speak and raise any issues/concerns with the Council.
