Policies and Procedures

The Council's Standing Orders are the written rules of a local council. Standing orders are essential to regulate the proceedings of a meeting. A council may also use standing orders to confirm or refer to various internal organisational and administrative arrangements. The standing orders of a council are not the same as the policies of a council but standing orders may refer to them.

Horringer Parish Council supports the principles of openness and transparency. In accordance with the Openness of Local Government Bodies Regulations of 2014 it allows filming, recording and taking photographs at its meetings that are open to the public. It also allows the use of social networking websites (such as Facebook) and blogging to communicate with people about what is happening, as it happens.
