Policies
The Parish council plays a crucial role in local governance by representing the interests and concerns of residents at the community level. The council operates under a set of policies that guide their actions, decision-making processes, and overall governance. Here are some of the policies that parish councils have adopted:
- Code of Conduct: A Code of Conduct outlines the expected behaviour and ethical standards for council members. It often covers areas such as conflicts of interest, confidentiality, and respectful communication. Please click here for the adopted LGA Model Councillor Code of Conduct for this council.
- Financial Policies: Financial policies dictate how the council manages its budget, allocates funds, and ensures financial transparency. This includes guidelines for budget preparation, accounting procedures, and financial reporting. A copy of the current adopted Financial Regulations can be found by clicking here
