Anyone interested is requested to contact the clerk, or any member of the council, for further information.

The parish council would particularly like to hear from residents of the Hilperton Marsh or Paxcroft Mead areas of the parish as these areas are currently under-represented on the PC.

At its meeting last night, the parish council agreed not to increase its precept for the 2018/19 financial year.  This is the third successive year when the council has not made an increase.
