Forthcoming Meetings


Due to the current health issues surrounding the COVID-19 virus and advice that face-to-face meetings should not be held unless they are essential, the Council has postponed meetings of the Management & Finance, Land & Property and Grants Committees.  The April Parish Council meeting has also been postponed. 

It is currently not lawful for Parish Councils to hold virtual meetings, but this is the subject of discussion at Government level.  Should virtual meetings become permissible, the Council will look into the means of doing so.

We apologise for the inconvenience this disruption is causing, but trust that you will understand the importance of safeguarding the Councillors and the Clerk, and reducing the risk of spreading the virus further.

We will endeavour to resume normal business as soon as we are permitted to do so.
