Parish Council Meetings &
Councillor One to One Dates for 2011

Villagers are encouraged to attend all Parish Council Meetings. These are an opportunity to hear of issues affecting our village and you also have an opportunity to have your say. At the Annual Meeting of the Council in May 2011 the Council decided to adopt the new model Standing Orders produced by the National Association of Local Councils with some amendments to tailor them to our Council.  The main change is that whilst all Council Meetings have always been open to the public, the public are positively encouraged to attend on a monthly basis as they now have the opportunity to speak on any Agenda Items at the Meetings in February, April, June, August, October and December and both on any Agenda Items and any other local matters which they may wish to raise at the Meetings in January, March, May, July, September and November. 

The Council has Committees comprising the Finance and General Purposes Committee, Planning Committee (which meets fortnightly), Highways and Environment Committee and Community Liaison Committee.  All these meetings are also held in public and the public may attend.  The public may also speak in relation to any matters appearing on the Agenda of the meetings held by the Committees. 

From August 2008 Councillors have held One-to Ones (or Open Surgeries) on a monthly basis where villagers can discuss matters of concern in confidence. From the 1st July 2011 the format will change to an appointment system at a mutually convenient time. Public Meetings are at 8.00pm on Thursdays. .

Minutes of all Council Meetings are published on the Village Website as soon as possible after approval. The Parish Council believes in full disclosure and therefore minutes of other meetings as well as related documents are available to view on application to the Parish Clerk.
