The Role of the Parish Council
Laxfield Parish Council is made up
of 11 Councillors. There are ten meetings during the year (no
meeting in August and December), always held on the second Monday
in the month. Additional meetings may be held to deal with a
specific item of urgent business if agreed by the Chairman and
Vice-Chairman of the Council.
All members of the public and press
are welcome to attend all meetings of the Council and its
Committees and sub-Committees.
The members of the Parish Council
elect a Chairman. His role is to ensure a fair and adequate hearing
of the views present and at the same time to restrict the
discussion to consideration of the business in hand.
The Parish Council acts strictly
within statutory boundaries and strives at all times to retain
public confidence.
The Annual Parish Meeting is held
specifically to allow all parishioners to attend and ask any
questions or bring up any matters relating to the village so please
feel free to do so.
