Dinnington St John's Town Council works tirelessly to improve the area for its residents. In doing so, councillors commit to maintain high standards of conduct and, as accountable community leaders, they agree to carry out their duties with selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.
As part of that commitment to open and transparent working, councillors are pleased to make the following documents available for viewing in the public domain...

The law was changed in August 2014 that made it legal to record and film council meetings. In order to facilitate this change and to allow recording in such a way that it does not disrupt the flow of meetings or those in attendance, and provides certain protections (e.g. filming of minors) a policy has been developed that is in line with standard policies across the country. Anyone wishing to film or record a council meeting is advised to read the full policy, which is available here, before recording or filming a meeting.
Covering everything from snow to major disasters, this plan identifies local risks and resources and coordinates with surrounding areas and organisations.
