Meeting Minutes
In addition, the draft Minutes of council, committee or sub-committee meetings should be published no later than one month after the meeting has taken place. You can find these on the Council Meetings and Public Meetings pages.
On this website, we also maintain an archive of the approved minutes going back to 2012 – the draft versions are deleted when the approved minutes are added.
Notice of Meetings
The agendas and associated papers for council, committee or sub-committee meetings are required no later than three clear days before the meeting (this does not include the day they are put up, the day of the meeting nor Sunday and best practice is to exclude Saturday too – so in effect a week). This gives notice so that those interested can attend. These can be also be found on the Council Meetings page.
Should you have any questions about the information please contact the Parish Clerk
