The agenda for each meeting is posted on this website below approximately a week before each meeting and the draft minutes are posted soon after, replaced by the approved minutes following the next PC meeting.
What: The monthly PC meetings follow a set formula as published in the posted agenda. There is an early slot for any parishioners who are attending to raise any items or contribute comments to any item on the agenda. Urgent business that is not already on the agenda may then be raised. The minutes of the previous meeting are agreed and any matters raised from them discussed. There is a slot allocated for our County and District Councillors who attend if they have matters of concern to Sandford. The main items on the agenda follow and then any new Planning Applications in the parish are discussed. The income and expenditure for the past month are noted and then items that are to be discussed the following months and agreed. No decision may be made on an item not previously tabled on the agenda because councillors need notice to make an informed decision.
