Our local area
Croxden Parish Council was formed in 1974 under The Local Government Act of 1972 and is proud to serve the residential areas of Croxden, Great Gate, Fole and Beamhurst.
This is a rural area dominated by livestock farming set within a scenic rolling landscape with the River Tean forming part of the boundary. There are 350+ households comprised mainly of farmhouses, cottages and barn conversions accessed by a network of narrow meandering lanes. There are also two peaceful secluded campsites with woodland and varied wildlife.
The Parish Council was awarded in 2023 The Foundation Award by NALC (National Association of Local Councils) which demonstrates that a council meets the minimum requirements for operating lawfully and according to standard practice.
