Alderton Parish Council
The council exists to serve you.
​
Your council is a corporate body, a legal entity separate from that of its members. Its decisions are the responsibility of the whole body. The council has been granted powers by Parliament including the important authority to raise money through taxation (the precept) and a range of powers to spend public money.
Standing Orders
The Standing Orders describe how Alderton Parish Council should be organised and run and the roles of the various members.
Financial Regulations
The Financial Regulations govern the conduct of financial management by the council. Financial regulations must be observed in conjunction with the council’s standing orders and any individual financial regulations relating to contracts.
Risk Assessments
The Parish Council will undertake a Health and Safety Risk Assessment on an annual basis. The findings will be reported to the full Parish Council along with any actions required to remove or control the risks
