Goldsborough & Flaxby Parish Council
Welcome to the official website for Goldsborough and Flaxby Parish Council, providing an online destination for news, information and local issues concerning both villages.
Heritage
The village of Goldsborough is known to have existed prior to 1066 and appears in the Doomsday Book of 1086 and has a deep and documented history. The church dates from Norman times and Goldsborough Hall is a Jacobean stately home completed in 1629. Flaxby, from the old Norse meaning ‘village’, contains the remains of an early Iron Age farmstead.
Neil’s welcome text
The Parish Council makes a range of decisions on issues that affect the residents of Goldsborough and Flaxby. The most common matters are planning applications, managing amenity spaces such as the allotments and children’s playground and seeking to ensure that local services and facilities are delivered to the Parish. We hope this website will encourage an ongoing and wider engagement with the local community to make the Parish a rewarding place to live.
