It is a small community of about 200 houses but local amenities include a park, church, pub, village hall, and primary school.

The Parish Council has five elected members and meets on the third Tuesday of each month (except for August) at 7.30 p.m.

This has had the effect of limiting the amount of development that has taken place and gives the village an unspoilt atmosphere.

The village hall is a popular venue for parties, concerts, dances, whist drives and other social events.

In recent years the village has held an annual 'Party in the Park' in the recreation ground.
