Draft Scrub Management Plan
The Parish Council meets monthly, on the first Monday of each calendar month,
usually in the Andy Young Pavilion at 7.30 p.m. These meetings are open to the
public and there is a ‘public session’ at the beginning of each meeting when parishioners are able to air their views, ideas and suggestions. Occasionally it is necessary to hold meetings in between the main monthly meetings in order to meet consultation deadlines for planning applications or other discussion documents.
Agendas for all meetings will be displayed on the Parish Council noticeboard (outside the Lecture hall) and on this website at least 4 days beforehand. Every Parish & Town Council has to hold an Annual Parish Meeting between 1st March and 1st June. These meetings are public meetings and give an opportunity for parishioners to hear of the work of the Council and other organisations and to ask questions. This year’s meeting was held on Wednesday, 25th April and covered a wide range of topics such as Waste & Recycling collections, Nature & Heritage Trails for Castle Hill & Sport in Mere.
Since 1894 when the Parish Council was established, it has operated with 15 councillors who are elected to serve for a period of four years – they do not receive any payment for being elected members and offer their time voluntarily. Elections took place in May 2007 and our existing Councillors are:
