We have a finance committee, who meet as and when necessary but as a minimum at least once a year in October, when the precept requirement for the following year will be assessed ready for presentation to full Council.

We have a burial board working group, who have regular meetings. They take responsibility for the management of the cemetery and associated land.

Both groups have specific tasks and can have delegated powers which need to be confirmed by the full council.

Both groups produce minutes of all meetings which are posted on the Parish Council website.

The council may set up other working groups to deal with any issues relating to Parish business.

We have 2 employees, a Parish Clerk who deals with the day to day running of the council, all financial matters in co-operation with the finance committee and burials in the Parish Cemetery in co-operation with the burial board. We also have a Health & Safety Monitor/Public Toilet Attendant, who undertakes inspections of some parish assets and cleans the public toilets on Moor Road, Ashover.

They can be contacted through the Parish Clerk by phone or email.
