Vacancy: West Hatch Parish Council
What your Parish Council does:

- Influences planning – comments on planning applications to protect the parish’s character.
- Raises funds – sets the parish precept (part of council tax) to pay for local services.
- Supports community life – liaises with groups and applies for grants.
- Works with others – partners with Somerset Council, police, and voluntary organisations
