• Ensuring that the village is maintained and improved.
• Developing forward plans for improvements in consultation with residents through surveys and parish action plans.
• Providing play areas for children and meeting/leisure facilities for village youth.
• Supporting  local community groups.
• Working with the police and other bodies through the Community Safety Partnership to safeguard the village from crime and disorder.
