The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council’s operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also the responsibility of the council.
All Saints’ Church has a tower dating from the 13th century; the rest is 15th-century. It was served by the monks of Taunton Priory until 1308.[2] The east window, dating from the 15th century, depicts the crucifixion with St John and the Mother of Jesus at the foot of the Cross.[5] The pulpit is believed to date from around 1500. The building has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.[6]
Dee's Book Exchange
As in several small villages around the UK, the telephone box has been refashioned into a book exchange. This was set up and scrupulously maintained by Dee Luke, long term resident/village shop keeper of Trull. The book exchange was renamed "Dee's Book Exchange" by Trull Parish Council in 2022, in memory of Dee who died in 2021.
