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. 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 take place
on the second Tuesday of each month at Halberton Village Hall, commencing at 7.00pm,
except in January and July when the meetings are 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.
Meetings generally 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, Parish Magazine, this website, and
placed on the notice boards in Halberton, Ash Thomas and Brithem Bottom. |
