Procedures

Council meetings are formal events with a clear purpose - to make decisions. To ensure meetings run smoothly the Council operates by following set procedures known as Standing Orders.

Meetings start at 7:15pm and there is usually a time limited period set aside for public participation where the public or community groups can participate and bring matters to the attention of the Council, seek advice and comment on local issues of interest. These procedures are detailed under Standing Order 3 (e-k).

If the 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 Council is requested to consider taking.

Agenda items must be submitted to the Clerk at least 1 week before the date of the meeting, as this is when the Agenda will be produced and printed.

The Agenda and Councillor contact details are also displayed in the external Parish Notice Boards at the Alston Arms, Inglewhite Road; Cumeragh play area, Beacon Drive; the Stags Head, Whittingham Lane.
