Boughton under Blean Parish Council

Parish Council

A parish council is a civil local authority found in England and is the lowest, or first, tier of local government.

​

Parish Council activities fall into three main categories: representing the local community, delivering services to meet local needs, and improving quality of life and community well being.

​

​Every meeting is open to the public and press, who are encouraged to attend, except for those items where the Council formally resolves to exclude the public and press on the grounds that publicity would be prejudicial to the public interest. This would have to be due to the confidential nature of the business. This latter also applies to any sub-committee of the Parish Council.

Speaking at a Meeting - The agenda for each Parish Council meeting includes a 'Public Participation' item where any member of the public may ask a question related to the agenda or wider parish matters.  Members of the public may not speak at other times in the meeting unless you are invited to do so by the Chairman or Clerk 

​

IMPORTANT – COVID SECURITY for Parish Council meetings.

Please wear a face mask at all times to protect yourself and others. Please observe social distancing where possible. Please use the hand sanitiser provided. Members of the public wishing to address or ask questions of the Council are requested instead to do so in writing or by email to the Parish Clerk at least 24 hours before the meeting.  Do not attend a meeting if you are displaying any Covid symptoms.  More details on covid measures can be found HERE

Did you know that the public are welcome to attend our Full Council monthly meetings and our fortnightly Planning Committee meetings?  Come along and discuss your community matters.

​

Agenda items should be notified to the Clerk at least 7 days before a meeting.

Agendas and minutes of each meeting are published on this website.
