The Parish Council

Seamer Parish Council is the parish for Seamer and Tame Bridge. It is made up of 5 elected councillors. They raise a small precept via council tax and  its objective is to improve the life of local residents.

Some of the things we do are:-

  • Grass Cutting of Parish Land
  • Tree Maintenance when necessary + 3 year safety review
  • Maintenance of village gardens and tubs
  • Reviewing and commenting on planning applications

They also manage and distribute the “Windfarm Community Fund” a contribution received annually from the wind farm owners to be used for the benefit of the community.
