Welcome to Drakelow Parish Council

Next meeting: Meeting Agenda – Wednesday 11th February 2026 - Wednesday 11th February, 2026

Meetings & Information

We like to keep our residents updated with our latest decisions as a Parish Council. Here you will find both agendas and minutes for all of our meetings that are open to the residents who appear on the Drakelow Electoral Roll.

Our Community

The Drakelow Parish Council exists to  support the local community. Drakelow is growing fast but as yet we do not have knowledge of specific Drakelow based Community Groups. If you have a club or society within the Parish which you would like us to mention please send a note via the “Comments” section. A list of clubs within the wider area can be found under the “Our Community” heading.

Drakelow is a farming community with several agricultural businesses. A small industrial estate was demolished in October 2025 and will be re-located as the major residential development within Drakelow continues.

Finance, Budgets and Support

We must be transparent with their financial documents and obligations. These can be  found on our site, making it easier for you to contribute to local decision making and increase our democratic accountability.

Welcome to Drakelow

Following a number of years without representation and with the population of Drakelow on the increase, a Parish Meeting was re-formed and was upgraded to a Parish Council in April 2025 following a series of resident petitions to South Derbyshire District Council
