Each May the Parish Council hold an Annual Parish Council Meeting at which the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Council are elected, for the next twelve month period. At the Annual Parish Council Meeting, the Parish Council also appoint to Committees, Outside Organisations and confirm the Councils governance arrangements. 

Our Annual Parish Council Meeting immediately follows the Annual Parish Meeting.

Every year, the parish council holds an Annual Parish Meeting. The annual meeting is open to the public.

All Parish Town Councils throughout England are required by law to hold an Annual Parish Meeting, which must take place between 1st March and the 1st June (inclusive).

The meeting enables the Parish Council to explain what it has been doing over the last year and provides an opportunity for the electors to have their say on anything they consider is important to the people of the Parish.

In recent years, we have invited guest speakers from local clubs, societies and other voluntary and statutory organisations to talk about the work/activities of their group and/or present information on topics of local interest.

There can be, and often is, confusion between the Annual Parish Meeting and the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council. The Annual Parish Meeting is not a council meeting.

You’re invited!

Events are being held in each community area so that they are convenient to attend and questions are relevant to the local area.

People are encouraged to ask any questions about the council, its objectives and priorities, and the challenges ahead. The events are an opportunity to put questions directly to the leader of the council and hear his thoughts and plans for the future.
