Working with the Local Community

This part of the website is dedicated to the business Parish Council. Find out who your councillors are and how to contact them, what the council does and how you can join in.

The main roles of the Parish Council are:

• To represent the local community’s interests, for example, by commenting on consultations, planning applications (but please note that the final decision rests with Somerset Council) and at meetings at various outside bodies (eg Hinkley Point, Quantock Hills National Landscape).
• To support local organisations and activities;
• To help provide care for amenities and village assets such as the Cemetery, Clock Tower, public seating, Castle Street public toilets and car park, and;
• To help look after green spaces and footpaths.
