meetings
The parish council is re-elected every three years, the next election date being May 2011. In practice there has never been a surplus of candidates to prompt an election, and so the council is composed of residents who have volunteered to serve. When a vacancy occurs between elections the existing councillors choose a replacement.

Parish council meetings are usually held on the third Monday of every second month in the village hall, starting at 20.00. The May meeting is followed by the annual parish assembly. All parishioners are entitled to attend the meetings and the annual parish assembly. Any parishioner who is concerned about a local issue may ask any councillor or the parish clerk for the matter to be raised at a council meeting.
