The Council has seven members; it has no office but uses the Clerk's home address for postal purposes and current files, and digitises archive files via its computer. The Council does not operate a committee system: it meets in the Village Hall at 7.30 pm as a full Council on the first Thursday of every month except August and May. In August there is no meeting. In May, the meeting starts at 7pm so that the Annual Parish Meeting can follow it at 8 pm. The Clerk is an employee of the Council and is paid monthly by standing order.
