Scothern Parish Council
Scothern Parish Council is made up of 7 local residents who volunteer their time to maintain and improve the village of Scothern.
Monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month - except for August when there is no meeting.
Meetings are normally held in the Methodist Church.
Agendas are published on the noticeboards, the website and Facebook page at least 3 clear days before each meeting.
Draft minutes are published on the noticeboard as soon as possible after the meeting and published on the website once they have been agreed at the following full council meeting, and signed by the Chair.
