ABOUT PARISH COUNCILS
What does the Parish Council do?
The Council represents the community in matters affecting the parish. These include: • Liaising with Dorset Council on various matters e.g. highways, footpaths, transport • Commenting on planning applications • Responding to consultations The Council also maintains and improves village property. This includes: • The playing field, its equipment and maintenance • Looking after the bus shelter, notice boards and village seats The Council also supports local community groups and events.Finance
The Parish Council’s main source of funding is the ‘precept’. The precept is the parish council’s share of the council tax and is collected by the district council for the parish council. Without this money the Parish Council would be unable to carry out any of its responsibilities.Meetings
The Council meets 6 times a year on the second Tuesday of alternate months with an Annual Meeting, at which the Chairman is elected, held in May. Meetings are held at Litton and Thorners Community Hall (LATCH) in School Lane. The dates and agendas for upcoming meetings are posted on the website and on the 3 village notice boards at least three days before each meeting. Noticeboards are located in the bus shelter, just down from the entrance to The Paddocks and next to Rose Cottage in Main Street.
