Parish Council Update – April 2026
Spring Litter Pick – 16th May
The Parish Council’s annual Spring Litter pick is just around the corner, and we would love to see as many residents as possible join in.
Date: Saturday 16th May
Time: 10.00 am
Meeting Point: Grafham Village Hall
All equipment will be provided, and volunteers of all ages are welcome. Free tea and cake will be provided afterwards as a thank you for your time and energy.
Food Waste Collection
The weekly food waste collections have now started. The food waste will be collected every week on the same day as normal waste and recycling collections.
Please put your outdoor food waste recycling bin, with the handle in the locked position, at the edge of your property with your other waste or recycling.
Parish Council Update – Uncontested Election
The recent parish council election was uncontested, meaning no vote will take place. All existing council members will continue in their roles for the new term.
We do, however, still have one vacant seat on the council. If you are interested in getting involved, supporting local projects, and helping shape the future of our community, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Please contact the Parish Clerk for more information about what the role involves: Clerk@GrafhamPC.org
Highways Update – Potholes Marked for Repair
The Parish Council Chairman recently carried out a full drive-around inspection of the village with Local Highways. Every pothole identified has now been marked yellow, ready for repair by the highways team.
Grafham to Brampton Quietway – Update
Brampton Road has now been designated as a Quiet Lane, with an associated advisory 20mph speed limit.
Grafham to Brampton Road is to be resurfaced in 27/28, therefore, a decision has been taken to temporarily pause the Quiet Lane works to ensure works can align with the proposed resurfacing works along the Grafham to Brampton Road.
