Holmes Chapel Parish Council operates a committee system which enables members to consider more complex issues in some detail at committee level. Each committee has a Chairman who has been nominated and voted for by his/her councillor colleagues.

Recommendations from committees are presented to the full Council for approval (or otherwise). Decisions are founded on majority vote from all councillors present at the meeting at which the decision is made.

The council has three principal committees which meet every six weeks. These are as follows:

• Strategy
• Amenities
• Technical services
• Finance Committee (meets every quarter)

Further detail regarding the role of each committee can be found on our Council Structure page.

The full Council meets every six weeks.

Agenda for each meeting are issued a minimum of three clear working days before the meeting is due to take place.

Unless noted otherwise in the agenda, all Council meetings will be held at Holmes Chapel Library commencing at 7.30pm and all Committee meetings are held at the Council’s office at 1 Church Walk Holmes Chapel, also commencing at 7.30 pm.
