Rooksdown Parish Council is the lowest tier of local government, looking after the people of the Rooksdown community in Basingstoke. Here you can find details of council meetings, finances, community facilities, Facebook groups, allotments, and back copies of the Rooksdown Reporter – the community newsletter.
And if you’re interested in having a say in local affairs, why not come to a council meeting?
If you really want a say, why not become a parish councillor? To discuss any of these issues, or just to find out more about Rooksdown, just phone the parish office on 07928 129122 or email .
The minutes of the April meeting are now available.
As the special legislation for coronavirus has lapsed meetings can no longer be held online. The Community Centre is not available for meetings as the COVID rules for Early Years provision would mean deep cleaning would be required after a council meeting, and this cannot reasonably be done before the nursery arrives next day. Therefore the council will be meeting outside the back of the Community Centre, either in the open or under event shelters if wet.
Risk of virus transmission will be mitigated as follows:
In view of this the agenda has been cut down to what is legally and practically required. To enable the meeting to proceed as fast as possible a document has been issued to all councillors giving the background and main points for each agenda item. Download this, the agenda and other supporting papers here.
The minutes of the March meeting are now available.
In line with government legislation for holding council meetings, the council will be holding an online meeting of the HR Committee at 1930 on Monday 28 April. We’ll be using Microsoft Teams: click on this link to join. See the detailed instructions for full information.
As it can be difficult to organise online meetings for lots of people, it would help to know how many members of the public might be joining. If you intend to join, please could you email the Clerk beforehand?
