Please note that if you wish the Parish Council to discuss any particular issue, the details must be submitted to the Parish Clerk at least one week prior to the meeting date.
Every Full Parish Council Meeting Agenda has an item allowing members of the public to raise any issues. Unless such issues are on the agenda for that meeting, Councillors may not be able to discuss these issues until the next Parish Council meeting.
