Crowcombe Parish Council meets every other month, usually on the second Thursday evening of the month, with additional extra-ordinary meetings called as necessary to discuss issues that arise outside the regular cycle of meetings

All meetings are open to the public and agendas are published at least three clear working days prior to the meeting, both on the website and on the noticeboard outside The Carew Arms. Draft minutes of meetings are also published on the website as soon as possible after each meeting.
