Council Meeting - Public Open Sessions

The Parish Council have always aimed for good practice in making time at each full council meeting for a public session, i.e. an opportunity for members of the public to raise issues or comment on items. The public session is not part of the parish council meeting. Matters raised in the public sessions may be put on a future agenda for council discussion if proposed. The council agree that if a point is raised for which the council can give a clear answer on fact, then they may do so; however residents need to be made aware that it is not a discussion/debating session. Points raised can be recommended by the council for an agenda item and individuals are advised to write in to the council with matters to be looked into.

Village Sign

Due to the new Diamond Jubilee village sign now positioned on Market Square, the council have agreed to refurbish the old Festival of Britain sign also on Market Square and re-locate it to Moor End (triangle), giving Eaton Bray a large village sign in two areas of the village.

Dog Hygiene Bin

The old broken dog hygiene bin on Market Square has now been removed and its replacement has been fitted at the corner/entrance to The Comp.

Next Council Meeting

Monday 4th March 2013, 7.30pm, in the Coffee Tavern.
