The Council

All the Councillors volunteer their time to serve on the parish Council to benefit Symondsbury parish residents and our local community.

The Parish Council has monthly meetings, details of which can be found on our meetings page. Members of the public are invited to attend Council meetings and are able to address Councillors at the beginning of the meeting.
