We strive to make Preston Capes a better place to live, work and visit. Our website includes a wealth of information about how we conduct our business and what we do.

The village has a friendly and active social media group on FaceBook (independent of the Parish Council). It is a private group called Preston Capes. Other village organisations are listed under the Community tab (left).
You may gain a quick feel of all the many varied activities within the village, by browsing through the ANNUAL PARISH MEETING reports, by clicking here.
Your Parish Council is Local Government in action, with local democracy ensuring accountability and response to local needs. The council comprises villagers, elected to serve four year terms without payment, save a better living environment for us all. To ensure fair play and accountability for public funds, the council abides by Local Governance documentation and procedures, reviewed annually and listed on this site.
Gratitude is expressed to David Wilkinson who has personally run and hosted the village web site on behalf of the villages of Preston Capes and Little Preston over many years. Much of this site's content is based upon his endeavours and other village contributors - Gary Denby, Parish Clerk, May 2020.
