Council Policies

Bishopsteignton Parish Council has adopted a number of policies to ensure  best practice and transparency of all council activities.

Good governance is maintained through the provision of these policies which guide the parish councillors and the clerk in the day-to-day business of the council. They are the current written protocols for delivering our services and responsibilities. All are reviewed at least once per council term, some annually, or sooner if required by changes to legislation. Just click on the link to view/download a PDF.
