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.
