Mistley Parish Council

Welcome to Mistley Parish Council. Our website is updated on a regular basis to make communications with our residents fast and simple with everything easy to find. We also use Facebook and Instagram to help you. Please contact us if you have any difficulties.

gold awardWe are very proud to have been granted Quality Gold - the highest Award in the Local Council Award Scheme. Receiving the Quality Gold Award demonstrates that the Council achieves good practices in governance, community engagement and Council improvement.
Furthermore, this award shows that the Council has gone above and beyond the legal obligations; that we lead our community and continuously seek opportunities to improve and develop even further. 

The elevation from our original Foundation award to Quality Gold was made possible by fixing the one factor that held us back - not having a fully compliant, well organised and usable website. The new website meets our needs and satisfies all the requirements and is provided by VCS Parish Council Websites.
