Council Members

    Home Council Members

    Council members are voted by the village residents in Parish Council elections or are co-opted into office. All their contact details can be found on this page.

    They do not represent political parties on the Parish Council.

    The Councillors sit on some of the Committees and sub-Committees of the Parish Council and represent the interests of the village in many different ways.  They all give their time freely and are not paid for their time or effort.

    Please click here for the current committee structures.
