Grantchester Parish CouncilMeetings of Grantchester Parish Council are held in the Reading Room, 8.15pm on the third monday of each month. If you would like to raise an issue, please contact any parish councillor. Note there is no August meeting, and the December meeting is sometimes held on the second Monday of December. The agenda is always posted three clear days before a meeting on the notice boards on the High Street and outside the shop.The Parish Council is the most local tier of government. Grantchester has a council of nine elected Parish Councillors, and elections are held every four years. The last election was in 2007. The Parish Council is not related to the church and should not be confused with the Parochial Church Council, which is an entirely different body. The parish of Grantchester defines the area of responsibility of the Parish Council and is a subdivision of the South Cambridgeshire district of the county of Cambridgeshire. The parish boundary covers a much greater area than the developed area of the village, and extends towards the city of Cambridge as far as the edge of Newnham. The council meets in the Reading Room, usually on the third Monday of every month (except August). Meetings are open to the public (as observers). Check the parish noticeboard near the shop for an agenda and confirmation of date/time a few days before the meeting. Members of the public who are attending with an interest in a specific issue are often permitted to speak on this issue at the invitation of the chairman of the council. Members: Clerk: |
