Council Meetings

The Town Council usually meets on the third Monday evening of every month from 7.00pm at the Town Hall. Agendas and Minutes for this and all committees are available via the Agendas/Minutes tab above.

Members of the public are welcome, and there is an allocated time in the meeting for the public to comment and ask questions on items that are on the agenda. Should you wish to place an item on the agenda for Council to consider, please email the Clerk at Clerk@stalham-tc.gov.uk

Agendas are published on this site and displayed on the Town Council notice board outside the Town Hall. 

There are 4 Committees:

The Town Council manages the Town Hall – if you would like to make a booking the forms are available on the Policies and Forms page.

Town Councillors’ Declarations of Interest are published on the North Norfolk District Council Website.

The Role of a Councillor

A councillor is a member of the council and is normally elected for a term of four years.  People of any political or religious persuasion are eligible to become a councillor, although their personal views should not extend into their town council work. A councillor is an unpaid role.

Councillors are elected to represent the interests of the local community as a whole and promote a harmonious local environment. The number of elected councillors depends on the size of the area. In Stalham there are 13 councillors.

 Local councils are the first tier of governance and are the first point of contact for anyone concerned with a community issue. They are democratically elected local authorities and exist in England, Wales and Scotland. The term ‘local council’ is synonymous with ‘parish council’, ‘town council’ and ‘community council’.

The Role of the Clerk

The Clerk is the ‘Proper Officer’ of the Council who is responsible for the smooth running of the Council’s business. He/she is the first point of contact for the Council and all correspondence comes to the Clerk.

 Responsibility for implementing the decisions of the Council rests with the Clerk along with giving professional guidance where necessary whilst remaining neutral and discrete. The Clerk is also responsible for financial management.

 The Clerk prepares, circulates and displays agendas in public places. She/he signs notices and summonses with a list of business to be transacted but does not have the power to fix the meetings of the Council. The Clerk is required to attend meetings, take minutes, keep Council minutes in a book and hold other documents.

 A member of the Council may be appointed as Clerk without remuneration but nowadays it is more usual to appoint someone who is not a councillor to be paid for the work they undertake.
