Council Structure and Working Groups

The Parish Council has a number of working groups to deal with any specific issues. All of the working groups ultimately report to Full Council and these groups do not have any decision making powers. They all have specific area of responsibility which are set out in the working groups terms of reference. Members are elected to working groups annually or as they arise.

Agendas and Minutes

Agendas for Council meetings are published at least three working days before the meeting takes place. Minutes are approved as part of the agenda for the subsequent full Council meeting. Agendas and minutes can be seen online or at The Misterton Centre & Library. Reports about items which are confidential and discussed are exempt are not available.

Open to the Public

All meetings of the full council are open to members of the public. Visitors are normally invited to sit in an area known as the public gallery. Sometimes confidential matters will need to be discussed and the meeting will go into a closed session. If this happens, members of the public will be asked to leave the meeting (this includes remote meetings).

You can ask a question prior to a Council meeting by contacting the clerk or during a period of the meeting that allows for public participation.
