Due to the Coronavirus pandemic the March Thurgarton Parish Council meeting was held as a private virtual meeting, this was also as a test to gauge how effective this medium would prove to be. I’m happy to report that this method worked well for Councillors but looking forward, it was agreed that we would have to keep the Parish Council meetings virtual and therefore private to enable the smooth running of the agenda. A consequence of this is that there is now the limitation of no public consultation within the meeting. To address this the Parish Council is asking that all comments, that would have been brought to the public section of the Parish Council meeting, be sent instead in writing to the Clerk to clerk@thurgarton.org.uk and also, if possible, that these comments are discussed with one of the Parish Councillors so that these points can be properly investigated and brought to the PC meeting.
Please also note that it was agreed at the March PC meeting to defer consideration of planning applications until the April meeting when these will be formally considered. Please click here to access the agenda for the April meeting.
Stay home and keep safe!
Regards, Tina Tsoukatos
Chair, Thurgarton Parish Council
