Denton Parish Council

Denton has a parish council of seven members elected all together every four years. The next elections are due in May 2007. Parish councillors serve on a voluntary basis but the council employs a part-time clerk to provide administrative support. Each year they precept a sum of money (£1,800 in 2003/4) from the district council to fund their activities. This is collected as part of all parish residents' council tax.

Parish councils have a limited range of powers but they do have a vital role to play in representing the views and interests of the local community. They are normally consulted by other bodies, notably the county and district councils, on issues affecting the village. In particular they are consulted on all planning applications that affect the parish and have speaking rights at planning committee meetings.

When are meetings held?

Parish council meetings are held once a month in Denton Village Hall on the second Tuesday of the month. Members of the public are always welcome to attend. There is an item on the agenda - Questions from members of the public, which gives residents the opportunity to bring any relevant issues to the attention of councillors.

The agenda is displayed on the village noticeboard opposite the village hall and will also be available here when it is published.
