Conduct of Meetings

The council holds regular meetings throughout the year, generally on the second Thursday of the month (January, March, May, July, September, November.) Meetings are held at Great Bedwyn Memorial Hall and start at 7.30pm. Between 7.00pm and 7.30pm, prior to the start of the meeting, Councillors will be available for an informal discussion. The public are also welcome to raise issues during the formal public discussion during the meeting.

The agenda for each meeting is published three clear days before the meeting on the Parish Council noticeboard in the Village Square and can be downloaded, as can the minutes, here. The Council’s Standing Orders are used to provide a structure for meetings.  The public are reminded that their opportunity to address the council is during public recess only.   There is no other legislation that allows members of the public to speak during a council meeting.
