The primary role of the Parish Council is to represent parishioners on issues affecting the community, to District, County and Central Government. It owns, or has on long terms leases, and is responsible for the Rec, the various children’s playgrounds at the Rec, on the Green and on South Road, the Coppice, Homefield Park and Manor Park Field, the allotments on Gatehouse Lane and Glebe Road, and the cemetery.
