List of Councillor’s Responsibilities

To capitalise on their areas of expertise and interest, Councillors volunteer to focus on specific areas.  The following areas of responsibility were agreed at the Annual Meeting on 4 May 2021. 

Committees are formal groups with terms of reference and scheduled meetings.  They have delegated powers from the main Council which allows them to move important issues along and make decisions without interrupting normal parish business at Ordinary meetings.  Members of the public are welcome to attend committee meetings, minutes are taken and published. Tysoe Parish Council currently have two committees (each with their own page on our website):

Working groups are groups of Councillors who work together to draw up proposals on a particular theme for the Parish Council to consider at meetings.  Councillors usually join working groups because they have specific knowledge, expertise or interest  in that area.  Working groups do not have any decision making powers.  Tysoe Parish Council have several working groups:
