Procedures
Parish Council meetings are formal events with a clear purpose - to make decisions. To ensure meetings run smoothly the Parish Council operates by following set procedures known as Standing Orders.
Meetings start at 7:00pm and there is usually a time limited period set aside for public participation where the public or community groups can bring matters to the attention of the Parish Council, seek advice and comment on local issues of interest. These procedures are detailed under Standing Orders.
If the Parish Council is required to make a decision or support a scheme, the matter must be included as a specific agenda item. The agenda item will explain the matter and may include a summary of any action the Parish Council is requested to consider taking.
Agenda items must be submitted to the Clerk and Responsible Finance Officer at least ten days before the date of the meeting, to give time for the agenda be produced and circulated to members.
The agenda and Parish Councillor contact details are displayed on this website and on the Parish Council notice boards.
To assist with seating arrangements, requests to attend a meeting should be emailed to the Clerk and Responsible Finance Officer by 5:00pm on the Monday before the meeting.
