Your council meetings are open to everyone — here’s how to take part
Monthly Town Council Meetings
Stokesley Town Council meets on the second Tuesday of every month at the Town Hall. All meetings are open to the public, and we actively welcome residents to attend.
Public Forum – 7:00pm to 7:15pm Each meeting opens with a public forum where residents can raise items, ask questions, or provide evidence on agenda items. Speakers are welcome to contribute for up to 3 minutes each.
Can’t make it in person? You can also submit questions in advance by email: contact@stokesleytowncouncil.gov.uk
Extraordinary meetings may be called when required and will be advertised on this website.
In addition, an Annual Town Council meeting takes place each year in April which allows Electors an opportunity to receive a report on what the Town Council has done throughout the previous year and to raise any questions.
Committee Meetings
The Town Council’s work is supported by several committees, all of which are open to the public:
- Employment
- Finance
- Health & Safety
- Open Spaces & Allotments
- Communications & Events
- Town Hall & Parking
Agendas and minutes for all committee meetings are available on this website or by contacting the Town Clerk.

Minutes
Minutes of the Town Council and Town Council Committee meetings are intended to be a formal record of the acts and decisions of the council. They are not intended to be a record of the full discussions that take place.
Minutes will appear in draft form until they are formally approved at the next appropriate meeting when they will be issued as the final document.
If you require minutes from any previous years, please contact the Town Clerk to request a copy.
