Finances
Seven councillors make up our full council, each being elected or co-opted for a period of four years. Decisions can be made as long as the council is 'quorate' and the agreed minimum number required in our constitution is three.
Councillors stand down and are invited to stand for re-election in May 2027 and then every 4 years after that, if they undertake a full term and wish to stand again. This is known as an uncontested election. A vacancy can be filled by existing Councillors selecting candidates. This is known as co-opting. If more people stand for election than there are vacancies, the election becomes contested, and it follows the same process as any other election.
​
Meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of alternative months, beginning in January each year.
The Clerk to the Council and the responsible finance officer is Joanna Cadman. Joanna is part-time and can be contacted via email (joanna.cadman@compton-pc.gov.uk) or via 07711566458.
​
Compton Parish Council owns Watts Chapel and Cemetery, and whilst Watts Gallery Trust has taken over the management of these areas, the Parish Council is the authority responsible for burials. All queries relating to burials or the cemetery should be directed to the Clerk, Joanna Cadman.
