Who we are & what we do

Hemingford Grey Parish Council when full is made up of 13 Councillors and a Clerk. All of the Councillors are voluntary and receive no payment whatsoever.

Council Meetings are typically held once every month for a full Council Meeting and additionally for committees and working groups.

Notification of meetings, plus the agenda, can always be found on the Parish notice boards, at least three days prior to a meeting and on this web site. Reminders are also sent out via Facebook and Twitter.

Any parishioner may have items considered at meetings – this is best done through the Clerk, in writing.

Although members of the Public are not permitted to speak during the meetings, time is always made available prior to the start of a meeting.

Our councillors are elected or co-opted, if you would like to become a councillor or find out more about what they do then please contact the Clerk for further information.
