The Stonham Aspal Parish Council is a corporate body with seven seats filled by elected and co-opted residents. Its primary function is to ensure that the Parish is efficiently and economically run using a proportion of the annual Council Tax income, called the Precept.
The Parish Council usually meets once a month, usually on the first Tuesday of the month (except August or December), in the Stonham Aspal Village Hall to discuss current Parish issues. Additional meetings may be arranged when there is a special matter to discuss or where decisions cannot wait for the next scheduled meeting.
Parish Council meetings are held in public but they are not 'public meetings'. This means that, save for the opportunity to speak given at the beginning of the meeting, members of the public may not participate unless invited to do so by the Chair.
