Residents, local organisations, district/county councillors,, the local press and police will be encouraged to attend parish council meetings and bring forward any proposals or comments they may have. All meeting participants, including invited guests will be expected to behave with civility and respect to all other attendees of the meeting.

On occasion it may be necessary for the council or a committee to exclude the public if the confidential nature of the business to be discussed means their presence at the meeting may be prejudicial to the public interest.

Local district and county councillors are invited to full council meetings.
