Parish Information

The Parish Council meets on the 4th Thursday of each month. Please check noticeboard or website for agenda and to confirm meeting is taking place at 7.00 pm in the Memorial Hall Annexe. Anyone from the village is welcome to attend these meetings, which include an Open Forum where matters that you would like to be considered by the Council can be discussed.

At each meeting the Parish Council also discusses current planning applications in the village and decides whether or not to support each one before they are considered by our local planning authority, Ashford Borough Council. If you would like to comment on a specific application you are welcome to attend our meetings. You can also contact the Ashford Borough Council planning department direct to comment.

The nine Parish Councillors are elected members of the community who administer a wide range of activities to ensure that the village and services within the parish are maintained in proper order.

The Localism Act 2011 and the Code of Conduct requires all parish councillors to register and disclose any Disclosable Pecuniary Interests with the council’s Monitoring Officer. Individual councillors’ registered Disclosable Pecuniary Interests can be viewed here. Please note that you have to click on councillor name to view their register of interests.
