The village has a Parish Meeting which is open to every villager and meets several times per year, usually in the Games Room of Manor Farm.  The Chairman of the Village Meeting is Patrick Plunkett ('phone: 01295 722974; e-mail: pat.plunkett@btopenworld.com).  Notice of each Parish Meeting is shown on the village notice boards.

Planning Applications are decided by Cherwell District Council after seeking the Parish Meeting's view.  The District Council is bound by national, regional and county planning rules and is under huge pressure from the current government to encourage higher densities, less car use and, above all, to build more and more homes.  Click here for a list of Planning Applications currently under consideration by Cherwell: Planning
