Welcome to the Burwell Parish Council Website


Burwell is one of the larger and older villages in Cambridgeshire, situated on the edge of the Fens. The population today is over 8000: large enough to be interesting but small enough for people to interact. It’s a great community to live in and make friends. For more information about Burwell click Burwell Community website.

This is a website for the Parish Council and we have tried to include as much information as possible. If you feel the site is missing information which could be of benefit to the community please contact the Parish Clerk.

New Tree Planted on Pound Hill

New Tree Planted on Pound Hill

Published: 1 Dec 23

Report from Geraldine Tate, secretary of Burwell Belles WI. "The Burwell Belles WI and Manchetts of Burwell have jointly bought a new tree for the spot outside the village post office where sadly the tree we planted in the 1960s recently had to be cut down because of disease. "It was much missed by the village, especially because it had such beautiful blossoms so we set out to replace it with another tree that will flower in the spring. We were directed to buy a crab apple by local firm Barchams, who said it would be suited to the soil here. We are very grateful to Mandy and Sean Manchett for their donation of £200 towards the tree, to which we added another £200 and we hope the new tree will bring pleasure to the village for years to come."

Climate Change Action Plan


 

Burwell Parish Council recognises that the world is in a state of climate emergency, and acknowledges that we must act now to reduce our carbon footprint. Many have noticed the disturbing change in recent weather patterns, causing destruction globally in the form of fires and floods, crop failure and displacement. Millions of species are under threat of extinction, and the lives and welfare of our children and grandchildren is severely compromised.
