The Parish Council was established 128 years ago.
Today it has responsibility for the village greens – Parsonage, Angel and Church Green. It also maintains the Angel Meadow, David Smith Memorial Field, Centenary Wood, the play area on Angel Meadow, as well as owning the land where the allotments are in Main Road which are currently run by the Allotment Association.
The Parish Council employs a Village Attendant to care for the physical aspects of the Village, such as the signs, bus stop shelters and the telephone box on Angel Green.
The Parish Council has the responsibility to set the rates per household, with the monies being used to benefit the village.
The Parish Council is Sole Trustee for the Village Hall Charity and also nominates four trustees for the Woollards Trust which was set up in the mid 1800’s to offer financial support for the ‘poor’ of the village. Today this work is still going on and application is open to anyone who falls on hard times and lives in Broomfield.
The Parish Council meets every third Wednesday of the month, except in August, and Broomfield residents are invited to come to ask questions or to listen to the proceedings.
The community is represented formally by the Parish Council, as well as 3 Chelmsford City Councillors, 1 County Councillor, and the MP (currently Saffron Walden)
