Welcome to Harston Parish Council
Our next council meeting is on: Thursday 14th May, 2026
It is essential to Harston Parish Council to provide and support the local community. We have various community lead groups that you are welcome to join. Harston also has a variety of local walks that are great for all the family, alongside plenty of local businesses.
Parish Council’s must be transparent with their financial documents and obligations. These can be easily found on our site, making it easier for you, the local people, to contribute to local decision making and increase our democratic accountability.
