Parish Council meeting: Tuesday, 2 June 2026

Key information

Meeting location: Avon Vale Tennis and Croquet Club

Meeting time: 7.30 pm

Parishioners wishing to bring any matter before North Huish Parish Council may either attend the open forum at the start of this meeting or ask a Councillor to represent them. Parishioners are asked to limit their input to 4 minutes in order to permit the meeting to progress without undue delay, and may only speak during the open forum.

Don't forget that if you would like to raise a matter relating to other bodies, such as South Hams District Council and Devon County Council, it is often best if you contact them directly.  In particular, potholes should be reported to Devon CC directly. However, the Parish Council would try help if difficulties arise after such a referral has taken place.
