The Parish Council's document library holds the minutes of previous meetings and other parish documents. The Document Library allows visitors to download a variety of types of files such as policy documents and statutory notices. Please note that, for the convenience of our website users, and for speediest download, the documents uploaded to the Parish Council website document library are kept as small as we can. Therefore, we have restricted the record of previous minutes to a maximum of one civic year which begins in May.
Many Parish Council documents are now posted online and are available as PDF documents. Please click on your required document below. These can be printed for reference, but cannot be altered, and are published in accordance with Crown Copyright regulations. Other parish council documents that you may find useful will be added in due course. Should you wish to see older documents that are not contained in the document library, please contact the Parish Clerk.
