Peasmarsh Parish Council

Parish Councils have a number of basic responsibilities in improving the lives of local communities.  Their powers fall within three main categories: representing the whole electorate within the parish; delivering services to meet local needs; and striving to improve the quality of life in the parish.  Some examples of these powers are the provision of local youth projects, tourism activities, leisure facilities, car parks, village greens, public lavatories, litter bins, burial grounds, allotments, bus shelters, commons, open spaces, footpaths, bridleways, and crime reduction measures.  Parish Councils can also comment on planning applications – they are statutory consultees (they have to be consulted if they so wish) and can be represented at public inquiries. To meet its responsibilities Peasmarsh Parish Council works in partnership with Rother District Council and East Sussex County Council.
