Welcome to the Hope Mansell Parish Council Website
As many of you may have seen in the June edition of Weston News, there is a recommendation that our ward boundaries are changed to achieve better 'electoral equality'.
If the proposal is accepted, Hope Mansell would be part of the Kerne Bridge ward, not Penyard as currently. We would have a different ward councillor. Click here for information on Simeon Cole
You can see more details about the recomendation and have your say on this proposed change until 6th July: by clicking here

To find out about Hope Mansell and neighbouring parishes, there is a lot of information on the Weston News website
Hope Mansell Parish consists of the villages of Hope Mansell, Bailey Lane End and Dancing Green (see map).
It is situated in south-east Herefordshire, near the border with Gloucestershire and close to the Forest of Dean.
We are a small and fairly spread out rural community, which includes a village hall, St.Michael's Church in Hope Mansell, and the Methodist Church of Bailey Lane End. We divide Parish Council meetings between the two communities, alternating between Hope Mansell Village Hall and the schoolroom at Bailey Lane End Church.
We live in a beautiful area and the Parish Council works to maintain that.
