Arlesey Town Council

Arlesey Town Council Information about the Town Council, its members, details of meetings, committees and services provided as well as information about the local area.

Arlesey is a small town situated in the county of Bedfordshire, with a population of over 5000 and extends for about 3 miles along the River Hiz valley. In historic times, Arlesey was a Royal Manor (Manor of Arleseybury) and a market town, once known as the most prosperous parish in the area and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. St Peters Church is situated at the Church End side of the town and

was built over 900 years ago by the monks of Waltham Abbey. Arlesey is a very friendly and welcoming community, with young and old working together to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. All communities are dependent on having people willing to work to improve things and Arlesey is fortunate in having a number of voluntary organisations and recreational facilities, all adding to the rich pattern of life. Arlesey has good transport links whether by road or rail. Details of these can be found in our transport section. Arlesey was given a significant boost to its development by the re-opening of the railway station. This was extensively refurbished and re-opened on 1st October 1988 and provides an excellent service to the larger local towns of Stevenage, Biggleswade and Sandy, as well as to London and Peterborough. The town benefits from a range of shops and community services, including a health centre, library, schools and recreational facilities. You can find more details of these by clicking on the links on the left of the page. Situated at the junction of House Lane and High Street, is the Town's War Memorial and is a reminder of all the brave men of Arlesey, who gave their lives during both World Wars. They are particularly remembered at the Memorial Service, held in November each year and at the annual Civic Service.

What a fantastic Summer Fete we had on Saturday and the sun shone for us too!

It’s been lovely to receive positive comments about the event and have all our efforts and hard work in organising the day recognised as a very small team. Just goes to show what can be achieved in a few weeks by working in partnership with Community groups, local businesses, and individuals.

There are lots of ‘thanks’ give: thanks to everyone who supported the event behind the scenes and during the event. We were heartened to see lots of goodwill in the Community in helping us spread the word, share connections, and give their time and help on the day. It was wonderful to have a great selection of stallholders – thanks for joining us! A massive thanks to Luna Animal Rescue for all their support in the lead up to the event and putting on their fabulous Dog Show.

Thanks to Gemini Response Solutions for providing our First Aid event cover (luckily all ran smoothly!) and thanks to our amusement providers (Gumbles amusements King Bounce Alot LTD) for entertaining the children (and adults on the Rodeo!) with the free inflatables!

Hope you enjoy the pictures... who can you spot?!
