Community
Shevington Parish Council also supports a wide range of local activity that helps bring the community together and maintain pride in the parish.
This includes providing grants and practical support to local groups and events, including Shevington Fete, supporting Remembrance Sunday commemorations, helping with seasonal planting and planters across the parish, and backing initiatives that improve the local environment and community life.
Alongside this, the Council works with residents, volunteers and community organisations to support local projects, respond to local concerns and help keep Shevington a well-cared-for place to live.
