We also wish to enhance and modernise links with as many people in the parish as we can through an email directory, which will enable us to communicate with you quickly and easily. In order to facilitate this please could you send your email contact details to Gabrielle by email.

It is important that we can communicate with you as easily as possible.

We currently have a rolling Chair of 6 monthly intervals.  Our Chair for the period July to December 2024 is Cllr Janet Harding

In line with the Accessibility Regulations 2018 the Parish Council (the council) have undertaken an assessment of Regulations.  The Council specifically assessed the following 3 areas:

• The cost of compliance to the Parish Council
• The impact to disabled users
• The impact of new products superceding the current platform

The Council believe that complying with the 2018 Regulations would place a disproportionate burden on both funds and resources.  It is the Council’s opinion that compliance would not significantly impact users with disabilities and are willing to meet specific needs on an individual basis.

This Assessment will be monitored regularly and reviewed annually.
