Bures Parish Council - About us
The Parish Council is in partnership
with Essex County Council under the Parish Paths Partnership Scheme for
overseeing the maintenance of all parish footpaths, bridleways and rights
of ways.
The Parish Council partly maintains the parish footpath cleansing via
a grant from the Borough Council.
The Parish Council has the right of
representation on planning matters, which included all planning applications
and strategic plan proposals.
Council meetings:
Meetings are normally held on a Thursday,
bimonthly in the Village Hall commencing at 7.30pm. The meeting notices
are posted on the noticeboards at:-
(a) the corner of Craigs Lane by the Telephone Box
(b) the junction of Colchester Road, and Peartree Road
Meetings are open to the public - anyone
is welcome to attend and to raise questions during question time at the
beginning of the meeting
Agenda items:
Members of the public are welcome to
write to ask that a particular matter be placed on the agenda. Such requests
must reach the Clerk two weeks before the meeting.
The Council will either accept the request
