Welcome to Fowlmere
Fowlmere is a small rural village at the very southern edge of Cambridgeshire, close to the borders of both Hertfordshire and Essex.
Parish Councils are about making small but worthwhile improvements to our villages.
We could very easily be called a Village Council or a Community Council.
We can’t change the world but we do strive to make Fowlmere a better place to live, work and play.
Our website includes information about the council and also services provided by the District and County Council and more.
If you can’t find the information you require then please contact us.
