The Parish Council consists of seven councillors who are elected every four years.
The Council employs a part-time Clerk, to undertake administrative tasks, and a part-time Responsible Financial Officer, to undertake financial tasks – both roles providing advice and support to the Council.
The Council ordinarily meet on the first Tuesday of the month, with the meetings held at St Marks Church. The public are welcome and encouraged to attend all meetings and are allowed to speak to the Council for twenty minutes at the start of the meeting.
Agendas are posted on this website and on the parish notice board, located in the community garden opposite the bus stop, at least 3 working days prior to the meeting. Minutes are posted on this website as an unapproved draft within one month of the meeting taking place and they are approved as as a true record and signed by the Chair at the following meeting.
We welcome the views of residents on local issues. You can contact the Parish Council via the parish clerk by email or on 07561 618128. You can also discuss issues with your parish councillors directly.

How is the Parish Council funded?
The Council, like all parish councils, is funded by the parish precept. This is an amount of money that is paid as a proportion of the council tax, collected by North Lincolnshire Council. It is paid by all eligible households in Amcotts. In 2023/24 this is £63.42 per year for a Band D property (£42.28 for a Band A).
