What to write to us about
The clerk welcomes contact about anything within the parish council’s responsibilities — the village green, allotments, footpaths and rights of way within the parish, planning applications, grant requests, and items you’d like raised at a future meeting.
If your concern is about something we don’t handle directly — for example a pothole on a main road, missed bin collections, a planning application outside the parish, or anti-social behaviour — please see the Report an issue page, which lists the right organisation for each type of issue.
Response times
The clerk aims to acknowledge correspondence within five working days. Some requests — particularly those that need a council decision — will need to wait for the next scheduled meeting before a substantive reply can be given.
Office hours
The clerk and deputy clerk work part-time. If you reach voicemail, please leave a message and your call will be returned.
Contacting an individual councillor
Please write to the clerk in the first instance, naming the councillor you’d like the message passed on to. This helps us keep a proper record of correspondence and respond consistently. The list of current councillors is on the Councillors page.
Privacy
When you contact the council, the information you provide is handled in line with our privacy notice.
The the council’s registered correspondence address, not a public office. Please email or telephone in advance if you’d like to meet in person.
