AGAR-FORMS-FOR-CONSIDERATION

The Council meeting is open to press and public. If you would like to attend this meeting, please notify clerk@sandgatepc.org.uk in advance. Letting us know allows us to make sure we have sufficient seats for you and allow reasonable spacing.

We keep a full list of previous Sandgate Parish Council Meeting Agenda and Minutes on this website. We publish those agendas a few days before each meeting, and will also post draft minutes in the week after a meeting.

Most of our meetings are broadcast live on our Facebook page. We’ll then leave those recordings on Facebook for a few months after the meeting so you can watch them back later.

Minimum Notice

We issue agenda’s at least three clear days before a meeting. We display them on the noticeboard in the library, Parish noticeboards on the Village Green and by Enbrook Valley shops, and on our website.

The minimum three clear days for notice of a meeting does not include:

  • the day of issue of the agenda, or;
  • the day of the meeting, or;
  • a Sunday, or;
  • a day of the Christmas break, or;
  • a day of the Easter break, or;
  • of a bank holiday, or;
  • a day appointed for public thanksgiving or mourning.

Meeting in Public

All meetings of our Council are open to the public, except in limited defined circumstances. We can only decide, by resolution, to meet in private when discussing confidential business or for other special reasons where publicity would be prejudicial to the public interest.

Those reasons might include, for example, discussing the conduct of employees, negotiations of contracts or terms of tender, or the early stages of a legal dispute.

Annual Parish Meeting Agenda 15-05-2023

The agenda for the Sandgate Annual Parish Meeting, to held at 6pm on Monday 15th May 2023, in Sandgate Library.

Agenda-Annual-Parish-Meeting-15.05.23

The Parish meeting is open to press and public. If you would like to attend this meeting, please notify clerk@sandgatepc.org.uk in advance. Letting us know allows us to make sure we have sufficient seats for you and allow reasonable spacing.

Members of the public can ask questions and make suggestions in the Public Participation section of the Annual Parish Meeting.

Any questions (deemed to be reasonable) sent to clerk@sandgatepc.org.uk will be read and, if possible, answered at the meeting.

If a member of the public would prefer to speak and ask their question themselves, that’s fine.

The Annual Parish Meeting is a meeting for and for electors of the Parish, not the council. It is required in Part III the Local Government Act of 1972 which specifies:

  • when it is to be held,
  • the meeting notice period,
  • that the Chairman of the Parish Council shall Chair the meeting,
  • and who shall be eligible to vote, if there are any votes.

Our agenda will give an opportunity to update the Parish on the work of the Parish Council, and plans for the next year. We will also be updated on the proposed merger of the Sandgate Heritage Trust and Sandgate Society. There will be an opportunity for questions on both those items.

Following the meeting will be the annual meeting of the Parish Council (which we will try to keep short!), then a small reception for all present to say thank you for coming along.
