What is the role of Council?
The Town Council holds a monthly meeting on the third Tuesday of every month (except for August) at 7.00 pm at The Old Library, 44, Elloughton Road, Brough.
This meeting is often referred to as ‘Full Council’ as all the members of the Town Council are summoned to attend.
It is at this meeting that the Town Council makes major policy and spending decisions. The precept (the Town Council’s element of Council Tax) is set by Full Council.
A Public Forum is held near the start of each meeting. During this time Council cannot take decisions based on comments from the public unless an item is already on the agenda.
It should be noted that members of the public may not speak when the Council is in session.
Once a year the Town Council holds an ‘Annual Meeting of the Town Council’ at which a Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Town Council are elected for the year. Appointments to internal committees and representations on external bodies are also made, key documents are reviewed and important arrangements considered.
