Your Parish Council
Blindcrake Parish Council exists to represent the interests of all residents of the villages, hamlets and dwellings within the geographical area which comprises the Parish of Blindcrake. The Council levies a precept on the community charge collected by Allerdale Borough Council that funds its activities. It meets bimonthly at 7.30pm on the third Monday of the month in the Village Hall. All residents are welcome to observe any meeting and the first ten minutes are set aside to hear any resident who wishes to speak to the Council. Despite its small size, it is actively seeking Quality Council status.
