Welcome to our Parish Council

Whiston is a picturesque village located in South Yorkshire, close to the town Rotherham. It has a population of approximately 5,000 people. The Council's members are elected by residents, and represents the first tier of local government which is closest to it's people.

Whiston Parish Council is committed to working for the good of the whole of Whiston Parish and wants to hear your views on what we should be doing to support the local community. All your ideas are welcomed.

The ethos of Whiston Parish Council is to foster community well being, to support the upkeep and attraction of the village and its facilities through committed effort, open dialogue and sound balanced reasoning.

The Parish Council mission is to help to provide a clean, pleasant environment in which the Parishioners of Whiston are proud to be part of and live, want to uphold and also to 'show off' to visitors from near and far.
