Funtington Parish Council works to serve the local community to make the Parish a better place for its residents. Councillors work as volunteers to represent the views of the Parish and aim to make a difference by influencing local decisions that benefit all. The Parish Council currently has a Planning Committee which meets every month just prior to the monthly Parish Council meetings. It also has occasional Task and Finish Groups. Funtington Parish includes the villages of East Ashling, Funtington, West Ashling and West Stoke and lies partially within the South Downs National Park.
