Dunkeswell Parish Council

Welcome to the Dunkeswell Parish Council website.

This site has been developed to give the residents access to their Parish Council.

We regularly update these pages to communicate what the Parish Council wishes to achieve throughout the year and what progress is being made on any current projects.  we hope to develop these pages to incorporate more information and also a community events page.

We are open to ideas for information that you feel would be useful or new pages, all suggestions are welcome!
