Welcome to Seal Parish Council

Parish Councils are the first tier of local government. They deliver a range of services at a community level. There are around 10,000 parish councils in England and Wales, made up of nearly 100,000 councillors. These first-tier councillors can respond to the needs of the community - delivering the services or representation it most needs. To do this well the councillors needs to hear from the community about local issues, so please keep in touch.
