As custodians of village interests, we liaise between the village and District and County councils. Our involvement covers - roads, footpaths, pavements, street lighting, traffic movements, speed restrictions and speeding, and planning issues amongst other things. We also have the opportunity to comment on some of the wider issues affecting our county.

We are funded by East Suffolk Council out of the council tax. We submit our funding requirements following our pre Christmas meeting. From our precept we have been able to fund various items in and around the village. We also provide financial support to organisations within the village and arrange maintenance of village grass areas.
