Council meetings
Meeting agendas are published on our website three clear days prior to our meetings.
​
Minutes of meetings are usually available to read on the website between one to two weeks after a council meeting. They are published in draft and approved at the following council meeting.
​
Meetings are held at Great Melton Village Hall/Cricket Pavilion.
It is helpful if members of the public let us know that they plan to attend a meeting (but it's not essential). View agendas and minutes.

THE ROLE OF THE CLERK
The Clerk is the ‘Proper Officer’ of the Council who is responsible for the smooth running of the Council’s business. She is the first point of contact for the Council and all correspondence comes to the Clerk.
Responsibility for implementing the decisions of the Council rests with the Clerk along with giving professional guidance where necessary whilst remaining neutral and discrete. The Clerk is also responsible for financial management.
The Clerk prepares, circulates and displays agendas in public places. She/he signs notices and summonses with a list of business to be transacted but does not have the power to fix the meetings of the Council. The Clerk is required to attend meetings, take minutes, keep Council minutes in a book and hold other documents.
