The role of Clerk to the Council
Last Modified: Thursday, 8th January 2009
The Town Clerk to the Portishead & North Weston Town Council role is pivotal to everything and anything the Town Council does. The Clerk’s job is a legal position and their work is encased in a very rigid set of legal procedures. The Clerk is responsible for arranging all council meetings and committee meetings, setting the agendas and producing detailed minutes, all of which are usually available to the public and will be available on this site.
Town Council meetings are normally held the second Wednesday of each month starting at 7.30pm. Members of the public are always invited to attend and a period of 15 minutes is set aside before council meetings start so that people can express a view or raise an issue with Councillors.
