The Parish Council

The Parish Council currently has 7 councilors, who are all volunteers.   A Chairperson and Vice Chair are elected at the annual meeting held in May.   The council is served by the Clerk, who is paid for services rendered.

The main responsibilities of the council are -

  • To ensure that the Village hall, tennis court, children's play area and playing field are all properly maintained and to manage the use of the playing field.
  • To comment, on behalf of the village, on local planning applications and on District and County Council  schemes that may affect the village.   The PC is not required to inform neighbours about planning applications but usually the PC makes sure that those affected are made aware of any applications that the PC is asked to comment on.
  • To liaise with the Highways Department about repairs and improvements.
  • To pass information received on to parishioners.

In addition the PC has -
