Sibton Parish Council consists of seven councillors.There is currently a casual vacancy for a councillor.

The council meets at least ten times a year in Peasenhall & Sibton Methodist Meeting Room unless otherwise notified. Notice of all meetings are on the notice boards which are situated in Wood View, Pouy St. and Sibton Green. Each meeting is preceded by a public forum in which you can raise issues and express your views.   

The current precept for 2009/10 is £2500. During the last year the councillors have been working with County Council and neighbouring Peasenhall Parish Council to deal with speeding problems through the parish and to improve safety for pedestrians. Some progress has been made in obtaining additional road signs. The Parish Council is looking at further village enhancements.

Sibton Parish Council has a 6m x 6m marquee that is available for community events.
