Any registered elector may ask questions of the Council, which may be answered at the meeting by the Chairperson, the Clerk, or a designated Councillor. Where the response required is more detailed, the Council may agree to provide a response by writing following the meeting.

The Annual Parish Meeting is an opportunity for any elector to make suggestions and comment on issues relevant to East Hunsbury and its residents.
