***********************************************************************************************************************************************

***THE ANNUAL PARISH MEETING WILL BE HELD ON 25TH MAY 2023, AT 7PM IN THE PAVILION ON WISES LANE, CHECK UNDER AGENDAS FOR FULL DETAILS***.

The Local Government Act states that every parish must hold Parish Meeting each year. This meeting must be held between 1st March and 1st June and proceedings must not begin before 6pm.

If there is a Parish Council the Chairman of the Parish Council (or vice-chair if the Chairman is unable to attend) must preside.

The agenda is a standard agenda, where the Parish Council reports to its electorate on its activities over the last year and there are usually reports from County and District Councillors and if possible, from other voluntary or local community group.

It is also an opportunity for parishioners to question people and organisations on any issues relating to the village. As the Annual Parish Meeting is not a parish council meeting it is not conducted in the same way or governed by the same rules as a parish council meeting. Members of the public are permitted to make statements on relevant matters during the meeting. Any resolutions passed do not bind the Parish Council.
