About the buyer

Newport Parish Council is the parish council for Newport, a village in Essex's Uttlesford district. Uttlesford District Council and Essex County Council sit above it in England's three-tier system of local government. Saffron Walden, around three miles to the northeast, is the parish's own post town. Essex Police, Essex County Fire and Rescue Service and the East of England Ambulance Service all cover the local area. The 2021 census recorded a parish population of just under 2,900 residents.

Over the past 5 years, most of Newport Parish Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and installation services.
