Agendas & Minutes

How your Parish Council works:

The central function of the Council, the making of local decisions and policy relevant to the public interest of the parish, is performed at the meetings of the Council. A Parish Council must hold an annual meeting and at least three other meetings in a year; however monthly meetings are the most common, and some larger councils have fortnightly meetings. An extraordinary meeting may be called at any time by the chairman or members, but due notice must be given.

Transparency at every level

The new transparency requirements enable local electors and ratepayers to access relevant information about the authorities’ accounts and governance, thereby providing them with a clear picture of the activities of the smaller authority.
