Your unpaid councillors are here to help and represent you. To find out what they do and how you can have your say in local matters, why not come along to a Parish Council meeting. If we are not the correct authority to deal with your query, we will happily point you in the right direction.

The Clerk, Chairman and many councillors have attended training courses and conferences throughout the year to keep abreast of new legislation and to see how we compare with other Councils.

The council currently consists of eleven councillors, ten from the Village Ward and one from the Fen Ward. At the Annual Meeting of the Council held on 26th May 2009 Cllr Dr Allen was re-elected as Chairman, Cllr Mrs Honisett as Vice Chairman and Cllr Ford as the Responsible Financial Officer.
