Details of all Bourton on the Water Parish Council Meetings

Council Meetings

Please note that the Parish Council took a decision at its December meeting to bring the start time of its monthly meetings forward to 7pm.

This decision was taken to avoid a later finish time for both residents and councillors, particularly during winter months when the weather can be bad.
We'd be grateful if residents would make note of the earlier time in their diaries.

The Council, as always, meets on the first Wednesday of each month, now at 7pm, at the Baptist Church Hall in Station Road. These meetings enable the Council to consider the administration of any business relating to the parish in which it has statutory power to act.

To assist these discussions the meetings adopt the same format each month, namely monthly reports from committees, consideration and approval of their recommendations, together with reporting of correspondence and discussion of current projects.

Members of the public are invited and welcome to attend all monthly meetings. It is usual for Councils to set aside some time for those attending to comment or put questions and in this respect there is a slot for Public Questions at the beginning and end of each meeting. The Police are invited to attend our meetings and one member of our local team is usually present to give a brief report and to also answer any questions the public may have at the beginning of each meeting.

The agenda for each monthly meeting is posted on the Chestnuts notice-board (on the grassed area in front of the Dial House) on the Friday before each meeting, and this will let residents know in advance which topics are to be discussed. Equally, minutes of the previous meeting are posted on the notice-board as soon as these are approved at the following meeting.
