play area and playing field are all properly maintained and to
manage the use of the playing field.
- To comment, on behalf of the village, on local planning applications and on District and County Council schemes that may affect the village. The PC is not required to inform neighbours about planning applications but usually the PC makes sure that those affected are made aware of any applications that the PC is asked to comment on.
