Members of the public are always welcome at Parish Council meetings but are reminded that after the public question time at the beginning of the meeting, there follows a formal meeting of the Council when members of the public can only speak at the invitation of the Chairman.

Council meetings are usually held monthly and unless otherwise stated, take place in the Mission Room, Vicarage Causway, starting at 7.30pm. Dates can be found in the diary.

The Transparency Code for Smaller Authorities (December 2014) outlined a range of changes to small parish councils in relation to published information and the audit procedure. Although Hertford Heath Parish Council do not have to adhere to these changes, due to the Council's level of turnover, it made changes in line with the Code accordingly.

As a result, Hertford Heath Parish Council will:

• Publish all draft minutes from all formal meetings, not later than one month after each meeting – on this website

• Publish meeting agendas not later than three clear days (not including weekends, bank holidays, the day of publishing and the day of the meeting) before the meeting takes place – on noticeboards and this website

• Publish all items of expenditure (date incurred, summary of purpose, amount and VAT) – these will be embedded in the minutes from each meeting, on this website. Hertford Heath Parish Council will publish ALL expenditure and income, not just items of expenditure over £100 as detailed in the Code.

• At the end of June each year, an annual set of data will be published including:

Accounting Statement for the previous financial

Annual Governance Statement

List of Councillor responsibilities
