So what does a Parish Council do? 

This is a brief list of some of the things the council is responsible for. But I’m sure one of the councillors will be able to provide much more detail.

• Consultation on planning applications
• Provision and maintenance of street lighting  throughout the village
• Grass cutting to open spaces and supervising the mowing contract for  the village
• Consultation with the Local Councils Highway Unit over  traffic signing, speed limits and other ancillary matters
• Parish facilities such as 'bus shelters, seats,  notice boards
• Maintenance of Public Rights of Way (PROW)
• Represent the interests of residents on  appropriate matters
• Maintaining the children’s play area and playing fields including skateboard
