Meeting Format
Villagers are welcome to attend all meetings, however, only councillors are permitted to speak during the meeting. This is a legal requirement.
Open Forum
Before the meeting is opened, an Open Forum is held. If you have matters that concern you, this is your opportunity to speak to the council. However, it would be useful if the Clerk could be given prior notice of the issue you wish to raise.
If it is an Agenda item, for instance you have a Planning Application, the Chair may agree to close the meeting to enable you to speak, after which the meeting will be reopened and resume.
