Annual Meetings

The Annual Meeting is an open meeting for all residents – whilst it is organised by the Council, it is not a Council meeting. The law says the meeting must be held between 1st March and 1st June. The meeting is chaired by a Councillor with the Clerk taking the minutes but Councillors have no more standing than other electors. The meeting is an open forum giving residents an opportunity to raise issues they feel are important and would like addressing. This could be suggesting ideas for the Council to investigate, raising concerns about planned activities, asking questions to the Council or raising general issues affecting residents. Any registered elector has the right to speak at the meeting.
