Welcome to Dent with Cowgill Parish Council

Dent with Cowgill Parish Council covers the village of Dent along with the hamlets of Cowgill and Gawthrop in South Lakeland and is made up of nine councillors and a Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer.

The council meets on the first Monday of each month (except January), usually in the Sedgwick Room, Dent (except March and September when meetings are held in the Sportsmans Inn, Cowgill). However, during 2020 meetings have been held via Zoom Video Conference due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

You will find Agendas and Minutes for meetings here and members of the public are welcome at all meetings of the council.

The work of the council is varied but its core objective is to ensure that the valley of Dentdale is a great place to live and visit.
