Weasenham Parish Council currently consists of 3 Councillors who represent the community as the first tier of local government.

​

The Parish Council now meets on the third Tuesday of every other month (bi-monthly) at Weasenham Community Building. 

Meetings begin at 7pm and members of the public are very welcome to attend.

​

Council Meetings are governed by the council's Standing Orders and Financial Regulations and as a local authority, Weasenham Parish Council must adhere to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 - as a guide to what information we hold, please see our publication scheme.

What does a Councillor do?

A Councillor is a member of the Parish Council.  They are usually elected for a term of four years but can also be co - opted if a vacancy arises mid-term or seats remain unfilled after an election.  Councillors are elected to  represent the views of the community and to consider the needs of the local environment.

​

Councillors are the first point of contact for anybody in the village with a community issue and they attend the monthly Parish Council meetings to discuss council business and to hear from members of the public.

​

Councillors must abide by a code of conduct and declare any pecuniary (financial) interest they have in the parish - this information is then held on a register by Breckland District Council.

​

Many Councillors see the role as a rewarding form of public service.
