Aldingham Civil Parish is a rural parish of just over 1,000 residents situated on the western shores of Morecambe Bay in south Cumbria.  It includes the villages of Aldingham, Baycliff, Dendron, Gleaston, Leece, Newbiggin, Roosebeck and Scales as well as a number of smaller hamlets.

The Parish Council is the lowest tier of local government in the area and is made up of volunteers from the local community.  They work in association with South Lakeland District (SLDC) and Cumbria County (CCC) Councils, as well as local residents, to help maintain services in the area.
