The Council is governed by local government legislation, that defines the documents and information that must be produced and published.

Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR) for 2025-26

Each year the Parish Council's Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR) needs to be reviewed by an external auditor appointed by Smaller Authorities’ Audit Appointments Ltd.

The unaudited AGAR is published below, along with this notice. As it has yet to be reviewed by the appointed auditor, it is subject to change as a result of that review. 

Any person interested has the right to inspect and make copies of the accounting records for the financial year to which the audit relates and all books, deeds, contracts, bills,  vouchers, receipts and other documents relating to those records must be made available for inspection by any person interested.

For the year ended 31 March 2026, these documents will be available on reasonable notice by application to:
Richard Maccabee 
Parish Clerk and Responsible Finance Officer
60, Gloucester Road
