When you contact the Parish Council, the Clerk will action it in one of the following ways:

  • Given the few hours each week allocated to the role of Clerk, enquiries will be acknowledged as soon as possible and certainly within ten working days. If a more detailed response is required, or the query needs to be discussed by the Parish Council, it will be added to the agenda of our next meeting.

The document Procedure for dealing with correspondence explains this in more detail /meetings/policy-documents

Enquiries for matters under the responsibility of the County and District Councils are inevitably better dealt with directly.
