On behalf of the residents of our community, I would like to welcome
you to South Woodham Ferrers, which has a population of around 18,500
people. We have designed our website with the intention of providing information
for residents and visitors alike and also to exhibit our peaceful riverside
town, which is located on the north bank of the River Crouch in the Borough
of Chelmsford, Essex, UK. Please take the time to stay a while and learn
more about South Woodham Ferrers.
The Town Council's responsibilities include the environment, leisure
and planning. We also maintain a community directory of adult and youth
clubs and associations plus a local Events Diary which can be found on
this website. If you want your club or organisation included, or your
event entered into the diary, (subject to the usual restrictions) then
please let us know.
