About Your Parish Council

About Nayland with Wissington Parish:  

The parish of Nayland with Wissington is in the district of Babergh and the parliamentary constituency of South Suffolk. It has a population of nearly 1,200 and is situated in the Dedham Vale, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the River Stour, the boundary between Suffolk and Essex. It was bypassed in 1969 by the A134 which links Colchester, 6 miles south of Nayland, to Sudbury, 9 miles to the north of Nayland.   Nayland village and the adjoining rural hamlet of Wissington (these days usually called 'Wiston'), were originally two separate parishes. They were united in one civil parish in 1833 although the two ecclesiastical parishes remained separate.  

The Nayland with Wissington Parish Council was created in 1894 as a result of the Local Government Act of that year. The Council currently meets every second Wednesday in the month in the Committee Room of the Nayland Village Hall, Church Lane, Nayland, at 7.30 p.m. Church Lane is just off the High Street, opposite the White Hart. Details of the members of the Council as at February 2023 are shown below.   

URGENT:       Please note 2023 is an Election Year for the Parish Council.  The Elections took place in May.  

Areas of responsibility include Open Spaces,  Playing Fields and Fairfield Play Area, Allotments, Burial Ground and Streetlighting.   The Parish Council liaises with District and County Councils on Highways, Public Right of Way footpaths, Planning Applications and other services.      The Parish Council is the landowner and landlord of Nayland Village Hall and Playing Field managed by the Village Hall Management Committee.      

If you are over 18,  live or work in Nayland or Wiston or within three miles of the parish boundary, then you are eligible to be co-opted as a Parish Councillor.     If you would like to become more involved in your local community and council decisions about the management of services and areas of responsibility within Nayland and Wiston, please contact the Parish Clerk or a Parish Councillor for more information.    No previous experience is required, just enthusiasm for working in a team for the benefit of the community as a whole.     Training sessions for new councillors or for  specific topics such as Town and Country Planning or Finance are available.
