The Parish Council has an overall responsibility for the well-being of the parish.

The work falls into three main categories:

• representing the local community
• delivering services to meet local needs
• striving to improve quality of life in the parish

Councillors have three main areas of work:

• Decision-making: through attending meetings, councillors decide which activities to support, where money should be spent, what services should be delivered and what policies should be implemented
• Monitoring: councillors make sure that their decisions lead to efficient and effective services by keeping an eye on how well things are working
• Getting involved locally: as local representatives, councillors have responsibilities towards their constituents and local organisations. This often depends on what the councillor wants to achieve and how much time is available.
