If you are new to the village we hope this website will be an information source to the services and amenities we enjoy. If you are visiting us or simply browsing the web we hope it tells you something about our community and its many organisations. Those who already live here are invited to contribute to the site’s development with ideas, articles and photographs. We also need everyone’s help to ensure it reflects the dynamism of village life in the 21st century.

Parish Council Vacancies
Drayton Parish Council currently has only 5 councillors out of a potential 11 and needs new Councillors. We could achieve so much more with more of you on board. Councillors are volunteers, supported by a Clerk, Deputy Clerk, Caretaker and Programme Manager. We are responsible for the allocation and management of the PC element of your Council Tax. The PC supports the maintenance and development of the allotments, the burial ground, Parish Council land, play areas, designated public open spaces and footpaths. We support many village activities and local charities. We also represent you in holding developers to account so that we get what has been promised for the village. We are responsible for the delivery of the new sports facilities at Walnut Meadows. If you are curious about what is going on in the village and want to participate in shaping future services, please consider joining us. You are very welcome to attend one of the monthly meetings to see what goes on, alternatively please contact any of the councillors or council staff to have a chat about the work. In terms of commitment, you would be expected to attend council meetings, but other than that you can do as much or as little as fits into your life.
