Seale & Sands Parish Council to hold its first online meeting.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic the Government has temporarily amended the law surrounding parish council meetings making them permissible via telephone and online methods with no legal requirement to hold them in person.

With these new powers we will hold our first online meeting on 18th May 2020 at 7.30pm and members of the public will be able to attend and take part in the public forum as per the Agenda. The meeting will be conducted as per a normal meeting via the Zoom app.

You do not need to download the Zoom application software to your device as it’s possible to join the meeting via your web browser, however Zoom will want to download its plugin software for the browser. You can choose to download and setup Zoom in advance of the meeting if you prefer as it may offer more functionality, plus it’s easy to do and free to sign up. Find Zoom here.

Important - You will need the Zoom meeting invitation link so please contact our clerk: clerk@saspc.info who will require some details from you and then send you the link and password - requests for the link must be made before 6.30pm on the day of the meeting but ideally well in advance. If you have any queries about the online meeting please let us know in good time.

If you do wish to join in please observe good online meeting etiquette, some of which includes: being in a quiet environment free from distractions, turn off phone and other device notifications, read the agenda beforehand. When in doubt, just practice common courtesy.

All future meetings of this type will be advertised on our notice boards via the Agenda and on our website.

We look forward to seeing you online.
