Policies

Policies play a vital role in ensuring that North Marston Parish Council operates with transparency, consistency, and accountability. They provide a clear framework for decision-making, helping councillors and the clerk carry out their duties in line with agreed standards and expectations.

By setting out procedures and principles, policies support good governance and safeguard the interests of the village and Parish. Whether addressing routine matters or responding to unexpected challenges, these documents help North Marston Parish Council to act fairly, responsibly, and in accordance with its legal obligations.

All policies listed on this page have been formally adopted through resolution at Parish Council meetings, following discussion and agreement among elected members. Once approved, they serve as guiding tools for day-to-day operations, from equality and diversity to health and safety and privacy. Policies also offer a structured approach to decision-making when there are complaints or unexpected challenges, ensuring the Council remains resilient and responsive. Regular reviews are undertaken to keep policies up to date and aligned with evolving needs and best practices.
