What does the Parish Council actually do?
The Parish Council is responsible for setting the precept. This is money that the Council receives to cover the cost of the services it provides and any staff costs. The precept is one element of the Council Tax householders pay. The Council employs a clerk to oversee its day to day affairs.
The Council is consulted on planning applications within the village.
The Council is responsible for some property in the village including the village sign, grit heaps and the footpath maps.
It is also the responsibility of the Council to make sure that the five part paved triangle areas are maintained.
The Council acts as a link with other local government organisations like Babergh Distirct Council and Suffolk County Council. Any problems in the village such as blocked drains, potholes, issues over footpaths and highways are reported by the clerk.
The Council has its own website to provide information about the Council, its meetings and useful contacts.
