Their mission
is to ensure that all local/community needs and concerns are
considered in the planning of programmes, and in the allocation of
resources by Council. Committees aim to facilitate the widest
participation of citizens, communities and civil society through the
dissemination of information on programmes and activities and by
holding public hearings through which citizens and interest groups
can express their views.
With the exception of the Executive Management, and
sections of the Poor Relief and Finance Committee meetings, all Council Committee
Meetings are open to members of the public and the Press. Council
meetings, held every second Thursday at 10:00 am, are broadcast live on local cable Channel 10. They are rebroadcast
occasionally throughout the month; for information on times please
call Bay City TV at 940-1889.
Minutes of meetings are available at the Parish Council or can be
viewed here.
