Meet Your Parish Council
Austrey Parish Council meets on the second Wednesday of each month
(apart from August and assuming we are quorate) at 7.30pm in the Village Hall.
Members of the public are warmly invited to attend any of our meetings. Many local issues are discussed and action, where necessary, is taken in consultation with the village residents. For further information about what the Parish Council does, and for agendas, minutes and meeting dates, please explore the links above. Meet your Parish Councillors below:
Neil Hayward - Chair
After moving to Austrey with my wife in 2020, we have been delighted to have been welcomed and included in the village community.
I hope to support the Parish Council as it protects and prepares Austrey for the future, and am especially keen to represent the needs and improve the life of those who, like myself, experience mobility or other special needs.

Sam Goldney
Austrey has always been part of my life. I had a very happy childhood in the village and even though I left at 18, I still visited my Mum frequently and maintained contact with the village.
In 1999, I then moved back into the village, where we have raised our children who are both very proud to call Austrey home. Whilst understanding the need to change, I am passionate about preserving the countryside and our village and supporting our village family.

We have lived in the village for 20 years with both of my daughters going to the village school, then to Polesworth High school.
Recently retired, I am now able to give a few hours back to the village which has been a great place to live.

Terry Webb
I moved to Austrey 4 years ago with my family and very quickly found what a friendly and pleasant village Austrey is. I have recently retired and felt it was time to put some of my free time to good use for the village, so decided to join the Parish Council. I look forward to working for the village.
