Welcome to the Probus Parish Council website

Probus Parish Council

This is the official Website of Probus Parish Council which has been designed and constructed to provide what we hope will be a valuable resource of information to all residents of the village.

A vehicle to find out more about what is happening within the Council and the wider Probus community.

We wish for the site to be proactive as possible and to be a two-way channel of advice assistance and information between its residents and the Parish Council.

Parish Councillor - Vacancy

The Parish Council is seeking new Councillors to fill two remaining vacancies.

Would you like to help your local community by becoming a Parish Councillor?

Do you have a few hours you could spare each month for a voluntary role with a lot of satisfaction to be gained from helping run local services for local people and supporting the community?

If you are interested in joining a diverse, eleven-person team looking after the Parish, we would like to hear from you.

Please contact the Parish Clerk on 07749 626021 or Cllr Nicholas Gillard (Chairman) on 07763 519044

The parish council considers threatening behaviour to be:
