Welcome to the Parish of Great Casterton
Welcome to the web site of the Parish of Great Casterton, a village of some 365 people on the eastern edge of Rutland.
The Parish Council consists of a Chairman and four Councillors who meet about every two months in Casterton Business & Enterprise College. The date and the agenda for the meeting is posted on the notice boards and on the meetings calender on this web site a week in advance.
As an elected body we are responsible to you, the people we represent. Attending a council meeting is the best way to find out what we do. Look in the Meetings Calendar to find dates for our public meetings.
Where do we get our money from?
Each year a sum of money called a 'precept' is collected through your council tax. This money is used by the Parish Council to improve facilities and services for local people.

Fuel Thieves are around looking out for your car or van
These thieves are now taking a more direct — and destructive — approach. The fuel pipes that pump petrol from the tank to the engine are ripped off or holes are drilled into the plastic fuel tanks so the contents can be drained.
Those doing this care little about the risk of explosion or the inevitable spills and pollution that this causes.
And they care less still about the disruption it wreaks on the lives of those whom they target.
