Committees

If you wish to determine heads of committees or committee members, please contact our Parish Clerk.

Standing Committees

In addition to the external committees, the Parish Council has a properly constituted Village Hall Committee, Environment Committee and Finance Committee. The remit for the Village Hall and Environment Committees includes maximum of 6 members, however the Village Hall Committee also has a ‘users’ sub group with 2 reps reporting to the Village Hall Committee.

Finance Committee
Meets in July, November and February to monitor the Council’s spending, review its financial affairs, set the annual budget and determine the parish precept (Council Tax).

Village Hall Committee
Meets monthly to discuss all matters related to running the Village Hall, plan its future development and usage, and manage its finances including the setting of hire charges.

Environment Committee
Meets regularly to discuss issues concerning the village environment.

Sub-Committees

The Council also has sub-committees and working parties. These are informal and meet on an irregular basis, as required. With the exception of the Planning Group, they do not have the authority to act without ratification from full Council meetings, other than to meet small items of expenditure (less than £200.00). They act as advisory bodies to the Council.

PLANNING GROUP
Delegated authority to make independent decisions unless applications are brought before full Council.
