The parish council meets on the first Monday of every month, excluding Bank Holidays.
Meetings are held in the Club Room at the Portal Hall, in Church Lane, and begin at 7pm. However, they are currently being held online due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Parishioners are always welcome to attend the meetings and raise any concerns or issues they may have, or to just see what we get up to.
