Halberton Parish Council
is the local authority
responsible for local
amenities including recreational areas, footpaths and the cemetery. It has a consultancy
role in relation to planning applications and highway matters within the
Parish. On
the menu opposite you will find official information and
guidelines. There are not only local guidelines
governed by Halberton Parish Council but also includes
government guidelines within which the Parish
Council must work. Please feel free to contact the
Parish Clerk if you would like further clarification
of these procedures |

There are eleven seats on
the council (plus the salaried position of Clerk to the
Council). Councillors are elected every four years.
The next elections will be held in 2011. Each
member of the council sits on one or more committees which deal
with relevant issues in the Parish.
Ordinary Parish Council Meetings
preceded by a Planning Meeting take place
on the second Tuesday of each month at Halberton Village Hall, commencing at 7.00pm,
except in July when the meeting is held at Ash Thomas Village Hall. In
August there is no Ordinary Parish Council meeting, but a Planning Meeting does take
place, commencing at 7.30pm. All meetings are open to the public.
In order to keep within the time limits set by MDDC Planning
there is generally a second Planning Meeting on the fourth
Tuesday of the month, this meeting only takes place if there
are Planning Applications to be reviewed.
Meetings
always begin with a public forum at which the public may raise
any issues, and they are welcome to stay for the rest of the
meeting's agenda.
Members
of the public are also invited to attend all committee
meetings, including Planning, Amenities, Footpaths and others.
Notice for these meetings is given in the Parish Newsletter,
and placed on the notice boards in Halberton, Ash Thomas and
Brithem Bottom, also Halberton Court Farm Shop and
Cottage Garden Nurseries, Willand.
