The Parish Council is a statutory body which oversees local affairs.
It consists of 9 members who are elected every four years.
It is responsible for such matters as village street lighting, grass-cutting and Settrington Beck, and for liaison with other statutory bodies such as Ryedale District Council, NYCC Highways, etc.
Ryedale District Council consults the Parish Council with regard to planning, etc. matters, however the latter can only advise; decisions rest with the District Council.
Meetings of the Council are held regularly; anyone may attend them. The Agenda and Minutes are posted on the Parish Council Notice Board and on the village website; the annual accounts, which show how the local precept is utilised, are available for scrutiny after having been audited.
The Clerk to the Parish Council is Bruce Skinner.
