The Parish Council is the first tier of Local Government and is here to help the village.
We have responsibility for getting the grass cut, keeping the communal trees tidy, providing dog bins (and ensuring that they’re emptied), monitoring and responding to planning applications among many other things.
Seven Councillors serve on the Parish Council and give their time. None collect any form of allowance (although travel costs for meetings outside the Parish are reimbursed).
We normally meet, bi-monthly on the second Tuesday of each month in Rampton Village Hall at 7.30pm. Members of the Public and the Press are invited to attend There will be an opportunity for members of the Public to raise questions with the Parish Council at the start of the meeting.
