Forthcoming Meetings


Thursday 26 May 2022
7.30 pm - Annual Parish Meeting
8.00 pm - Annual Parish Council Meeting

Thursday 7 July 2022
7.30 pm - Parish Council

All of the meetings will be held at Burton Village Hall.  Members of the public are welcome to attend.

The Annual Parish Meeting is a public meeting where all electors are welcome to speak. The Chairman gives an overview of the last year.  Electors are invited to ask questions or make comment.

The Annual Parish Council meeting is the first of the Council year when the Chairman and Vice Chairman are elected, and the committee places are decided upon.

There will be a public participation session at the beginning of all Council and Committee meetings, when people can speak for up to 3 minutes on any issue which falls within the Council's / Committee's remit, with the total session lasting a maximum of 15 minutes  All meetings are open to the public, although contributions from the public are restricted to the Public Participation session.

However, sometimes items need to be taken in private if the discussion involves disclosure of personal information or details of a future contract.  The decisions taken in private sessions are public knowledge and will be included in the minutes.

The agenda will be available from the Meetings Page about a week beforehand.

Jubilee Grants

The Council has approved a total of £3,000 in grants to community organisations holding events to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne.

The demand for the grant exceeded the budget, so the Council has reduced some of the grants. In an effort to be fair, it awarded the full £300 to the groups which fully complied with the grant scheme's criteria, and £150 to those which only partially met the criteria.  There was just one group which did not fulfill the criteria at all, but they will be advised that they could apply for a general grant for the same purpose later in the year.

Please see the News Page to find out if your group was successful.  The funding will be issued in April, in the financial year to which it relates, but groups are able to make purchases and arrangements straight away now the decisions have been taken.
