Parish Council Meetings

Our meetings are usually held in Scarning Village Hall at 7pm on the third monday of the month (see below for more details). Agendas are posted on the website at least three days before the meeting. We welcome members of the public to our meetings, and there is always an opportunity for you to speak and ask questions. Please note if you would like an item to appear on the Agenda details must be sent to the Parish Clerk  at least five working days before the meeting. The Council is unable to make a decision on anything not included on the agenda, but can discuss newly raised matters and refer them to the next meeting.

Minutes of meetings are posted on the website and are available from the Clerk. For more information, please contact the Parish Clerk (scarningclerk@btinternet.com)

The Role of the Clerk

 

The Clerk is the ‘Proper Officer’ of the Council who is responsible for the smooth running of the Council’s business. The Clerk is the first point of contact for the Council and all correspondence comes to the Clerk.

 

Responsibility for implementing the decisions of the Council rests with the Clerk along with giving professional guidance where necessary, whilst remaining neutral and objective. The Clerk is the Council's Responsible Financial Officer.
