Parish Council
The Parish Council represents and serves the whole community without discrimination; it is responsible for the services it provides. The Council is made up of 10 co-opted/elected members who give their time voluntarily to run the council as a corporate body. They budget and decide on the annual amount to request from the precepting authority, and are responsible for deciding how this money is then spent to best serve the community. The Parish Council is administered by the Clerk, who advises the council on legal matters, finance and procedure.
The council currently provides and maintains the following:-
Scotter Cemetery on Scotton Road.
Allotments at the cemetery and on Scotterthorpe Road.
Areas of public open space at Riverside and Parson’s Field.
Equipped play areas at The Granary, The Rookery and Johnson Drive/Elizabeth Close.
Public seating within the Parish.
The War Memorial.
Other services are controlled by West Lindsey District Council (e.g. planning) and Lincolnshire County Council (e.g. highways).
Any parishioner may attend a Parish Council or Planning Committee meeting. The first 15 minutes are set aside for the public to ask questions or make a short statement to the Council in relation to matters on the agenda. After that they are entitled to remain for the rest of the meeting and listen to the proceedings.
The agenda for forthcoming meetings and minutes of the most recent ones are displayed on the Parish Council website, in the library and on notice boards at Hobb Lane and Susworth, and other previous ones are available to view on the Parish Council website.
