- Providing feedback on planning applications: Offering a voice in the planning process to reflect community perspectives.
- Supporting community initiatives: Facilitating projects or events that promote the wellbeing of our parish.
- Ensuring transparency and governance: Adhering to legal and ethical standards through regular meetings and documentation.
