In December 2014 the (then) Department for Communities and Local Government published the Transparency code for smaller authorities. To see the Code click here.

This Code requires parish councils with an annual turnover not exceeding £25,000 to publish a number of documents on a website, and became effective from 1 April 2015. However some of the earlier papers were lost before the Council was able to upload them. Where possible they have been recreated.

The documents are listed within years (1 April to 31 March):
