Council Meetings

All full council and committee meetings are open to the press and public and will start with a public forum usually lasting up to fifteen minutes (longer may be allowed at the chair’s discretion). Residents are encouraged to raise issues during the public forum relating to agenda items or anything else. For full details on public participation at our meetings please see the guidance in the document linked below.

Residents, local organisations, district/county councillors, the local press and police will be encouraged to attend parish council meetings and bring forward any proposals or comments they may have. All meeting participants, including invited guests will be expected to behave with civility and respect to all other attendees of the meeting.

On occasion it may be necessary for the council or a committee to exclude the public if the confidential nature of the business to be discussed means their presence at the meeting may be prejudicial to the public interest.

Local district and county councillors are invited to full council meetings.
