Parish Council Meetings
The Parish Council usually meets at All Saints Church and sometimes at Gregories Barn, Thornage Hall.

Anyone is welcome to attend the meetings. Whilst members of the public cannot participate in our meetings, a short period of time is allocated on the agenda for members of the public to ask questions and to air their views on matters where they would like the help of the Parish Council.

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. She 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 discrete. The Clerk is also responsible for financial management.
​
The Clerk prepares, circulates and displays agendas in public places. She/he signs notices and summonses with a list of business to be transacted. The Clerk is required to attend meetings, take minutes, keep Council minutes and hold other documents.
​
A member of the Council may be appointed as Clerk without remuneration but nowadays it is more usual to appoint someone who is not a councillor to be paid for the work they undertake.
