Parish councillors represent and work in partnership with local people. They help to facilitate the provision of local services and facilities and make decisions that form the council's policy.
Parish councillors are not paid and must abide by a local government code of conduct and declare their financial interests in the parish. They must also declare a personal or prejudicial interest in any matter discussed at a parish council meeting.
