Welcome to Longden
Longden is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of Shropshire
The Parish Council is responsible for the street lighting in the parish, two play areas, and a variety of street furniture, including defibrillators, benches, bus shelters, litter bins and noticeboards.
The Council meets every first Wednesday in the month, except August. The meetings start at 7:30pm and are usually held in the Parish Hall in Longden. A meeting in August will only be called if there is urgent business to attend to. Members of the public are welcome to attend and speak in the public session held at the beginning of each meeting.
Each year, a meeting of the electors of the Parish is arranged between 1 March – 1 June. The Parish Council Chairman will chair the meeting (if present) but it is not a meeting of the parish council so any elector may speak.
