Our Committees
Agendas for all our meetings are posted in our notice boards (keep an eye out for colour coded agendas linked to the colours below). We welcome any members of the public to our meetings and there is a 10-minute opportunity at the beginning of any of our meetings for members of the public to speak on an agenda item. We are always delighted to see residents in attendance. Click for the full calendar of dates for meetings.
Council Meetings
Full Council meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of each month (except in August).
Discussions and decisions are made on agenda items at these meetings and they are the driving force behind the actions of the Council.
Planning Committee
Did you know that Withyham Parish Council is a Planning Consultee for applications within our boundary? We would always recommend submitting your comments to Wealden District Council [external link, opens a new window] who are the Planning Authority, but do feel free to come along to our meetings to share your views.
Finance & Administration Committee
The Finance and Administration Committee administers all financial, health and safety and administrative matters arising within the Council. These meetings also guide the actions of the Council.
Rights of Way Committee
The Rights of Way Committee is an Advisory Committee tasked with monitoring the Rights of Way within our Parish, in order to keep them open and accessible to all. They work closely with the East Sussex County Council Rights of Way [external link, opens in a new window] team.
Air Traffic Committee
As an advisory committee the Air Traffic Committee acts as a channel for communicating the views and concerns of the residents of Withyham Parish to the District, County, and Central Government levels, in connection with any matters relating to the effect of aircraft traffic levels on residents.
Road Safety Committee
Whilst the Highways Authority [external link, opens a new window] remains East Sussex County Council [external link, opens a new window] this committee works to advise the Council, consider projects in the parish that will enhance road safety and work with East Sussex County Council.
Committee Vacancies
We have 3 committees which currently have vacancies for members of the public. These are the Rights of Way Committee, Road Safety Committee and Air Traffic Committee. These are important committees covering vital areas within the parish and assisting the parish council in making decisions.
