| Welcome
to Ravenshead Parish Council's website, designed to
provide information on our activities and give
details of facilities available in the
Village.
Ravenshead itself is a pretty dormitory village
between Mansfield to the north and Nottingham city
to the south, with Newstead Abbey Park lying within
our boundary. It is a large village comprising just
over 2300 houses,
two primary schools and a wide range of
other facilities.
The Parish Council has existed since 1987
and comprises 11 Councillors, elected every four
years, with a paid part-time Clerk
and Proper
Officer. Parish Councils have a range of statutory
duties and can raise funding, using a Precept system
linked with Council Tax, to provide things such
as
street furniture and part-finance Village activities.
Most of our spend is used for the provision of Leisure
Facilities
at our two
play parks at Haddon Road and Abbey Gates and our
Leisure Centre. |
