WORKING GROUPS
GENERAL
Parish Councils are able to appoint Working Groups to carry out specific functions of the Council. They are not required to hold meetings in public. In the past, Bishopstoke Parish Council has had various working groups covering things like Travel Tokens, or the Cemeteries.
​
Currently, the Council has two permanent Working Groups - one for Communications & Engagement and the other overseeing the redevelopment on Glebe Meadow. In addition there are two "Task and Finish" Working Groups - one working on the Council's Aims & Objectives and the other working on making it easier for people to be Councillors.
​
Working Groups can be created by Full Council, or by one of the Committees and generally report back to the body that created them. It is much more common for Working Groups to have non-Councillor members as they often require guidance on specific problems or activities that the Council is looking at.
COMMUNICATIONS & ENGAGEMENT WORKING GROUP
The working group members are Cllrs Louise Hillier-Wheal, Stewart MacLachlan and Anne Winstanley, along with the Clerk.
​
The Communications & Engagement Working Group has between 3 and 5 members, with at least 2 needing to be present to make a meeting quorate. The Group meets as necessary throughout the year.
Responsibilities include:
• Oversight of the Council newsletter.
• Oversight of the Council website.
• Oversight of the Council’s Facebook presence.
• Making recommendations regarding other social media.
• Oversight of any other regular communications undertaken by the Council.
• Making recommendations on policy regarding communications.
GLEBE MEADOW WORKING GROUP
The Working Group members are Cllrs Geoff Harris, Louise Hillier-Wheal Stewart MacLachlan, Trevor Mignot and Anne Winstanley.
​
The Group has between 3 and 7 members, with at least 2 needing to be present to make a meeting quorate. The group will be responsible for advising the Council on matters relating to the various projects that are approved for Glebe Meadow, including the construction of the new Bishopstoke Memorial Hall.
