The common misconception about council members is that all they do is attend council meetings, yet this couldn’t be further from the truth. Being a local councillor has a wide range of responsibilities and rewards, but the most significant aspect of the job is simply having regular interactions with residents in their own neighbourhood.
No one councillor is in charge of any particular decision because the Parish Council functions as a unified non-political body.
Council members speak for their community while being conscious of and sensitive to the concerns of any special minorities.
Oakamoor Parish Councillors receive no remuneration for their attendance or involvement on the Parish Council.
Oakamoor Parish Council is made up of seven seats.

In response to concerns regarding cars speeding through the village, Oakamoor Parish Council are considering a community speed watch scheme. Details of the scheme are available at http://www.staffssaferroads.co.uk/my-community/community-speed-watch.
Before the council commits any money to the scheme, it would like to hear what the community thinks of the idea and whether anyone is prepared to volunteer to support it.
Please make your views known by commenting on this notice.
