Your Parish Council has been operating for several years now (since 2016) and, in that time, has sought to enhance village life for all our parishioners. From engaging in complex planning issues and investing extensive time in shaping its Neighbourhood Plan to organising community events such as the Christmas "Carols on the Green" and the summer Family Fun Days in the village.
The Parish Council is here to support and promote Pannal, Burn Bridge and Walton Park.
The business conducted in the council is according to a set of nationally accepted rules. This may sound very formal and indeed it has to be, so that democracy can be seen to be done in a consistent manner. However, that does not stop us from being a very approachable group of people. Your councillors come from all walks of life and being volunteers, perform their tasks purely for the good of the parish and without any remuneration. We want to hear from parishioners about things they feel need improving or indeed new suggestions for the benefit of the parish. Parishioners are most welcome at council meetings and indeed some have already been asked, or volunteered, to help out our Parish Council where they have special areas of expertise. If you have a suggestion, then please email the parish clerk (parishclerk@pannalandburnbridge-pc.gov.uk) or chairperson with the details. It may be possible for your idea to be incorporated into the agenda and discussed in council and you could have the opportunity to promote it yourself.
