The Role of the Parish Council

The PC’s main role is to ensure the maintenance of the delivery of services to meet local needs and to maintain or ideally improve the quality of life/environment in the parish.  This involves among other things, maintaining the items on its asset register, addressing and commenting on planning applications, bringing problems raised to the attention of the District and County Councils if necessary and also taking an active role in supporting the village with larger issues such as the effect of infrastructure developments. 

The PC provides services around the village including the cutting of grass verges, both within the village and on some main road areas, providing and paying for the emptying of several dog bins, providing some seating around the village, operating a speed awareness sign, keeping the grit bins filled and maintained, providing a wall mounted street light and three noticeboards where all information is regularly posted as well as providing this website.
