Whilst the Parish Council meets every two months, Parish Councillors are continually working on matters (outside of meetings) for the benefit of the Parish and welcome any comments you may have.
Parish Councillors may be contacted on a variety of matters concerning the Parish such as planning applications, condition of roads, untidy sites, community schemes, flooding matters, street lighting and transport.
The funds available to the Parish Council are raised through the precept, which is collected by the District Council in the Community Tax. For the financial year 2008/2009, the Parish Council precept was fixed at £7750, an increase of 12% agreed with public support following the publication of spate of large scale planning proposals which may have a substantial impact on the parish.
