Standing Orders
Standing Orders are the written rules of a council. They are essential to regulate the proceedings of a meeting. A council may also use Standing Orders to confirm or refer to various internal organisational and administrative arrangements. The Standing Orders of a council are not the same as the policies of a council but Standing Orders may refer to them.
The council’s Standing Orders are reviewed annually or on the back of any change in content or requirements. The full document was readopted in May 2026 and can be viewed in the following link. A copy of the document is available from the Parish Council office.
