Slaley Parish Council

Slaley Parish Council normally meets at 7.30 p.m. on the second Monday of each month in Slaley Commemoration Hall.  An agenda is pasted on the Parish Notice Board (corner of Slaley Churchyard) within the statutory notice period.

Quarterly updates of the Parish Plan ‘Action Plan’ keep the recommendations for parish improvements firmly at the forefront of many decisions taken during monthly meetings.
