The first entries in any Newborough Parish Council record start on December 14 1894 and the meeting was held in the School Room.
Very little was written in the records until an entry on 3 April 1947 which stated "This meeting was held later than usual on account of the flooding of the Fens". Crowland Bank had burst on March 21 flooding the surrounding fens.

Parish Councils
Parishes are the smallest areas of civil administration in England and provide the statutory tier of local government closest to the people. 

The Government introduced the Quality Parish and Town Council Scheme in 2003 with the aim of encouraging Councils, on behalf of their communities, to have a greater say in the running and improvement of local services.  Newborough Parish Council achieved Quality Status in July 2008. For further information concerning this please see the Parish Council page.
