The next Parish Council meeting will take place on Monday 2nd February 2026 at 7.15pm at The Sun Inn All are welcome to attend. Agenda details will appear a week before the meeting. Please click on ‘Documents’ in the menu below.
The Parish Council encourages local people to participate in the democratic process.

There are also links to and from the local village facebook site.

– What does your Parish Council do? In much of its work the Council acts as a representative body for the residents of the parish, mainly liaising with Notts County Council on matters such as highway maintenance including public rights of way. Similarly with Bassetlaw District Council on matters such as planning and street cleansing. It is the point of contact on general community matters, and with other local bodies including the police.
The Council utilises HEDS, local notice boards and its dedicated website to keep in touch and share local information. The Parish Council also initiates projects which will enhance the lives of residents. (For more details see menu item Meet The Councillors above)
The Parish Council has begun the process of updating the Neighbourhood Plan. The underlying vision that will lie at the core of the plan has been presented for consultation and discussion and has been generally well-received. The next stage is to identify and designate local green spaces (LGS) and we need as much input as possible so that we identify all the green spaces we wish to preserve. A start has been made and can be found on the NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN page. Your comments will help shape the future. Contact theclerk@evertonparishcouncil.org.uk

From the agenda:
County Councillor Robertson and District Councillor Steven Pashley apologised for their absence. A village walk with the Chair and others is planned for early 2026.
BASSETLAW ACHIEVERS AWARD: Sue Hughes has been nominated by the Parish Council for the Bassetlaw Achievers Award for all the hard work and dedication shown to so many aspects of the village including the Secret Garden, The Community Orchard and the extensive Local History Archive.
The new Village Parish Paths Map is on display in the Village Hall porch.
STEP FUSION: The STEP Project Team have been invited to Everton to make a presentation in the Village Hall early in the new year. When we have a date we will publish details. In addition the STEP team are planning a talk to our Primary School children – the generation who will benefit from the new jobs as well as the tecnological implications. Details of the latest STEP Project Consultation Meetings can be found here.
The “kissing-gate” is due to be repaired and quotations are being sought.
Dog owners/walkers are asked to be aware of the countryside rules, including keeping dogs on leads especially where there is livestock nearby.
War Memorial and White Letter Box dedication
The completion of repairs to the War Memorial in the cemetery on Mattersey Road is being celebrated by a gathering at the cemetery in the spring of 2026. Please look out for the date here and on the Village Facebook Page. All welcome.
The White Letter Box has been erected and the Scheme launched; there will be a separate dedication event once a plaque has been erected.
Neighbourhood Watch
Where you see something which you think is a police matter (e.g. Trespass and Damage Caused by Motorists/Motorcyclists), please telephone 101 and report the matter.
The Parish Council is seeking to form a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in the village, and is calling uon those volunteers who want to be part of the scheme to contact the Clerk to express an interest.
Website Updates: Every month, following a council meeting, some of the pages on this site are updated. Please see the asterisked items on the menu. The website will soon be upgraded to comply with regulations for council websites nationally, which will include more inclusive access and a “mobile phone friendly” format. This will involve changes to the site details and contacts. More information to follow.
Everton Parish Council receives occasional notifications from Notts CC about road works that affect our village. Use the button below to find out more.
