Within the Council there are three committees: Planning, Finance and Environment.

The Finance Committee agrees the annual parish budget and accounts, and sets the Precept for the year. The Environmental Committee is responsible for all outdoor parish matters including footpaths, hedges and trees and flooding.

The Council usually meets every two months at 7.00pm in the Village Hall in the centre of Tillington. Notices of forthcoming meetings can be found on the Parish notice boards in Tillington (Village Hall), Upperton (next to the red phone box) and River. All meetings are open to the public and parishioners are most welcome.

The Pavilion is equipped with changing rooms, toilets and showers and is also suitable for small meetings.
