Liss Parish Council Meetings

Liss Parish Council meets at Full Council eleven times a year in addition to the many other Committee meetings, these help us deliver speedy and transparent decisions. Members of the public are welcome to attend Liss Parish Council and Committee meetings and make a public representation when invited to by the Chair. We ask members of the public wishing to make a public representations to let the committee chair know prior to the meeting commencing. Members of the public wishing to make a deputation on any item within the committees remit, should contact the clerk by 2pm on the day of the meeting: Contact Us - Liss Parish Council.

Please click on the committee name below to view its Terms of Reference, committee members, previous minutes and agenda for the next meeting.

An Annual Parish Meeting is held between 1st March and 1st June each year. The Annual Parish Meeting is different from the Full Council meetings in that it is a public meeting which provides an opportunity for the electors to speak on any matter of local interest as well as allowing the Parish Council to talk about what it has been doing over the last year. Members of the public are entitled to attend and participate, any registered elector may ask questions of the Council, make suggestions and comment on anything relevant to the residents of Liss. The Annual Report is presented to the meeting.  

During the  pandemic Liss Parish Council conducted committee meetings remotely and live-streamed them on YouTube. Live-streamed meetings can be accessed by following this link: YouTube.
