Spring Clean for the War Memorial

By Linda on May 8, 2007 6:02 PM | 0 Comments

 A spring clean for Bishopthorpe War Memorial - and after 86 years - looking the better for it!
 
Bishopthorpe War Memorial has been in place at the junction of Church Lane and Bishopthorpe Road for 86 years and, until recently, was looking the worse for wear. On 25th April, Burrows Davies Ltd. of Strensall brought the Portland stone Memorial back to - well, perhaps not quite back to its pristine state of 86 years ago, but as near as is possible.

New Parish Council

Now the election is over the Chairman of the previous PC must call an Annual General Meeting within 4 and 14 days of the election.  This notification will be sent to all elected councillors by the clerk and has been arranged for 15 May 2007 at 7pm in the Village Hall.
 
This meeting is of course an open meeting but there will be no time permitted for questions, comments or participation from members of the public.
 
The first item on the agenda will be the election of a chairman.  Each potential chairman must be proposed and seconded and in the event that there is more than one nominee a vote will of course be necessary.
 
Once a chairman has been selected he will take over for the rest of this meeting.
 
During this meeting councillors will:
 
Sign an Acceptance Form to agree to perform the duties of a councillor to the best of their ability;
 
Be required to Register any Interests that may have an influence on the way they may perform their duties.  At any point in future meetings councillors must register an interest if they may have any prejudicial interest in the item under discussion.
 
The Council will as a body will also be asked to accept the Code of Conduct for Parish Councils.
 
Once the above has been completed the council will discuss the proposed sub-committees and the chairman will take note of individual interests of the councillors to ensure that all skills and experience are used in the best interests of the council.
 
The make up of these committees may be held over to the first Parish Council Meeting of the new council on 22 May 2007.
 
Stewart Harrison, PC Chair 2003 - 2007
