Each year, the Parish Council holds one statutory Annual
Parish Meeting, plus 11 monthly Meetings of the Parish Council (not August).
The Council is only obliged to meet on a minimum of four occasions, one of
which must be its Annual Meeting. In recent years, the Annual Meeting of the
Parish Council has generally been held on the same evening as the Annual
Parish Meeting.
Dates of Meetings
Meetings are planned as shown below, but sometimes these may need to be
altered. The dates, venue and time of all Parish Council meetings are
formally announced on its noticeboards near the village car park (near St
John's Church), in the Village Hall car park, and next to the bus stop in
Guilden Sutton Lane.

Annual Parish Meeting
This is usually held in April or May, and gives constituents an opportunity to hear
reports of the Parish Council's work during the previous year, and can raise
any issues.
Meetings of the Parish Council
These are usually held at 7.30pm in the Committee Room at the Community
Association Village Hall.
At Ordinary Meetings the public are invited to attend and
listen to the proceedings, but may not address the Council.
Constituents who have any issue about which they are concerned should
contact any Parish Councillor, who will then raise the matter under an
appropriate item on the agenda. If it is appropriate, the
Chairman may ask any person attending a meeting to provide information.
For certain confidential matters, the public and Press are asked to leave
meetings - these are referred to as Part 2 matters.
Guilden Sutton Parish Council has
introduced an opportunity for constituents to address the Council before
Ordinary Meetings are opened. This "Public
Speaking Time" does not give any right to debate
issues,
and anyone wanting to avail themselves of this may find
it useful to contact the
Clerk beforehand.
Contacting the Parish Council
