Town and parish councils are the first level of local government. They provide communities with a democratic voice and a structure for taking community action. They also work towards improving community wellbeing, and providing better services.

Middlesbrough has two parish councils - Nunthorpe is one, and Stainton and Thornton is the other. They are independent of the council, but work closely with us on issues which affect their communities.

Meetings

Meetings of Nunthorpe parish council usually take place on the first Wednesday of each month at the Institute. The meetings generally start at 7pm. Any change of dates and timing, if necessary, will be advertised on the NPC notice boards in Nunthorpe and Nunthorpe village. Parish council meetings are open to the public.

The council chairman does have the power to exclude the public from part of a meeting if he judges that publicity would be prejudicial to the public interest or because of the confidential nature of the business to be discussed, but this happens very rarely. In practice, you're very welcome to attend parish council meetings.

Members of the public have no right to speak at parish council meetings unless the council authorises this. In practice, if you've got a constructive point to make about what's going on in Nunthorpe then the council will invariably give you an opportunity to make that point.

Agendas and minutes of the parish council meetings are also available.
