The council is made up of locally elected councillors who are legally obliged to hold at least one meeting a year. The council meet every two months to discuss council business and hear from local residents.

Except in certain circumstances, council meetings are open to the public. Members of the public may speak if invited to do so by the Chairman of the Council.

The council represents and serves the whole community. It establishes policies for action and decides how money will be raised and spent on behalf of the community.
