Who we are and what we do

In England alone there are over 9,000 parish councils and town councils. They are the tier of Local Government, which are closest to the people.

Each parish and town council have a limited amount of duties, as they are local authorities. With agreement of the district council or county council, if they decide to use them, the parish and town council have wide powers. These are certain functions normally carried out by those councils.

Parish and town councils should maintain a close relationship with the local community. The public are encouraged to be observers at the council meetings, as they are obliged to arrange at least one meeting for the parish or town council each year. Local electors may attend and they may raise issues of concern.

The Parish Council normally meets on the third Monday of each month commencing at 7.00pm in the Village Hall (small room). Dates of future meetings together with agendas will appear on the website.

Members of the public are very welcome to attend and may speak during the 'Open Session' for Parishioners. Please contact the Clerk, Sue Dunkley, if you require any further information.

Our councillors are all elected or co-opted onto the Council, if you would like to become a councillor or find out more about what they do then please follow the links below. Or simply contact the clerk
