Committees and Working Groups

We have a finance committee, who meet as and when necessary but as a minimum at least once a year in October, when the precept requirement for the following year will be assessed ready for presentation to full Council.

We have a burial board working group, who have regular meetings. They take responsibility for the management of the cemetery and associated land.

Both groups have specific tasks and can have delegated powers which need to be confirmed by the full council.

Both groups produce minutes of all meetings which are posted on the Parish Council website.

The council may set up other working groups to deal with any issues relating to Parish business.
