Welcome to the Hilton Parish Council website
Hilton Parish Council is here to serve our community. As an organisation we form part of your local government and must adhere to local government policies. Councillors are drawn from the parish and offer their time, unpaid, as elected representatives.
We have many functions but overall our prime objective is to manage, improve and preserve our village for the good of all.
Hilton is a unique community and a very desirable place to live, however we are facing many pressures. Your Parish Council is well placed to represent our community and work with Huntingdonshire District Council, Cambridgeshire County Council and National Government plus other authorities such as the Police, Highways England and transport groups to achieve the best for our community.
