Your Parish Council Needs You!

Are you interested in serving your local community? If so, there is now a perfect opportunity for you to join the Parish Council. As a result of the last uncontested election, there are currently six parish councillors and the Parish Council now needs to co-opt one more person to fill the remaining vacant post to bring the council up to its maximum of seven councillors.

The Parish Council meets monthly, except in August & December (although there is a meeting this December). Discussions are lively and varied, as the Parish Council has a very wide and growing range of responsibilities and interests. This includes the management of the parish land – greens and ponds, the provision of play and recreation facilities, toilets etc. It also is involved in supporting local initiatives through participation and on occasion providing grants. Another important aspect of Parish Council work is engaging in consultation on all local planning matters.

If you are interested, then the Parish Council really wants to hear from you. Please apply in writing, explaining briefly why you would want to join the Parish Council team.
