Bures
Hamlet Parish Council - About us
As well as being members
of Bures Hamlet Parish Council, the members serve on the Joint Cemetery
Authority which maintains the cemetery, the Joint Sportsground Committee
and the Village Hall Committee.
The Parish Council partly maintains
the parish footpath cleansing via a grant from the District Council. It
also pays for the upkeep of the parish owned street lamps.
The Parish Council is in partnership
with Essex County Council under the Parish Paths Partnership Scheme for
overseeing the maintenance of all parish footpaths, bridleways and rights
of ways.
The Parish Council has the right of
representation on planning matters, which included all planning applications
and strategic plan proposals.
Council meetings:
Meetings are normally held on a Monday,
bimonthly in the Village Hall commencing at 8.00pm. The meeting notices
are posted on the noticeboard at the end of Station Hill adjacent to the
Swan Public House.
Meetings are open to the public - anyone
is welcome to attend and to raise questions during question time at the
end of the meeting
Agenda items:
Members of the public are welcome to
write to ask that a particular matter be placed on the agenda. Such requests
must reach the Clerk two weeks before the meeting.
The Council will either accept the request
or explain in writing why it is not appropriate to do so.
The Annual Parish Meeting is normally
held in March.
At the Annual Parish Meeting it is your opportunity to raise matters appropriate
to the Parish Council in an open forum.
