At its most recent meeting, Great Amwell Parish Council agreed its budget (Council Tax Precept) for 2026/27. It was decided to maintain expenditure at the same level as in 2025/26.
The Parish Council also agreed to make grant awards to the:
- Armchair Singers, a local organisation that aims to provide a safe space for elderly residents in the community to share in the collective celebration of singing; and
- St John the Baptist Church to maintain the churchyard and public footpaths that traverse this area.
Unfortunately, the restoration project for the War Memorial, funded by the Parish Council, was not completed in time for the 2025 Remembrance Service. Works will be completed once the weather improves.
The proposed Neighbourhood Plan for Stanstead Abbotts and Stanstead Margarets (which also includes part of the parish of Great Amwell) is to be the subject of a referendum. At the time of writing, a poll on whether, or not, to adopt the Plan will take place on Thursday, 29 January 2026. All qualifying electors in the area covered by the proposed plan are eligible to vote.
Great Amwell Parish Council meets every month (second Thursday). However, no meeting is held in August.
