As the first tier or ‘grass roots’ local  authority, it has a range of responsibilities on issues affecting the local community, including:

• Annual taxation to fund activities (the parish precept);
• Burial grounds;
• Crime prevention;
• Managing open spaces;
• Traffic calming;
• Planning – the council has to be consulted by Buckinghamshire Council (the planning authority) on all applications in the parish and its views have to be taken into account. It does not make the final decision;
• Makes representation to the relevant responsible authority on other issues which affect the village.
