councillor

The Parish Council is the most local tier of government authority whose 15 Members are elected by the electors of the parish area and whom represent the residents on various issues. There have been over 25 Acts of Parliament since the creation of Parish Councils in 1888, which the Parish Council must abide by. These Acts have given the Parish Council many powers relating to issues such as grants, planning, provision of recreation facilities, community centres, crime prevention, public toilets, allotments, footpaths, litter, open spaces and traffic calming. The Council works to ensure our Parish remains a safe, welcoming, and a vibrant place to live.
