Meetings

When and Where

The Full Council currently meets four times per year.  Meetings are normally open to the public and are held in Staveley & Copgrove Village Hall.  Meetings start at 7pm and are usually held in the months of February, May, August and November. The meeting held in May starts with the Annual Parish Meeting (see below). This meeting is followed by the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council.

In an election year, the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council is held on or within 14 days following the day on which the new councillors elected take office. In a year which is not an election year, the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council is held on such day before 1st June as the council directs.

The first business conducted at the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council is the election of the Chairman of the Council, followed by the establishment of committee members and those councillors who will represent the council on outside bodies. In an election year all new members sign the declaration of acceptance.

The Finance Sub-Committee meets four times per year.  Meetings start at 7pm and are held in Staveley & Copgrove Village Hall.

It is also an opportunity for parishioners on the Electoral Roll for Staveley & Copgrove to raise any matters of concern to them that relates to their local community.
