Annual Meeting of the Parish

The Annual Meeting of the Parish is a meeting of the local electorate, required by law to be held once a
year between 1 March and 1 June. It provides an opportunity for parish residents to hear updates,
ask questions, and discuss community issues.

• Purpose: To allow parishioners to receive reports on council activities, finances, and
  community matters, and to raise any topics they wish.
• Who Can Attend: All local electors in the parish. The meeting is usually chaired by the
  Parish Council Chair.
• Content: The agenda often includes Chair/Clerk reports, financial updates, presentations
  from local groups, public questions, and open discussion on parish concerns.
• Status: It is not a Parish Council meeting, and decisions are advisory, not binding, but can
  guide council priorities. Minutes are recorded for transparency
