The district council is carrying out a review of all local councils and how they are organised.
It is called a community governance review. It will look at
- Creating, merging, altering or abolishing parishes
- The naming of Parishes and the style of new parishes
- The electoral arrangements for parishes (the ordinary year of election; council size; the number of councillors to be elected to the council, and parish warding)
- Grouping new or existing parishes under a common parish council or de-grouping existing parish
