The Annual Town Meeting is an open meeting for all residents of Winsford – whilst it is organised by the Town Council, it is not a council meeting. The law says the meeting must be held between 1st March and 1st June and we usually hold ours in May each year.
The meeting is chaired by the Mayor with the Town Clerk taking the minutes but Councillors have no more standing than other electors of Winsford. The meeting is an open forum giving residents an opportunity to raise issues they feel are important to the town. These could be:
- Suggesting ideas for the Town Council to investigate
- Raising concerns about planned activities in the town
- Asking questions of the Town Council
- Raising general issues affecting the town
Any registered elector for Winsford has the right to speak at the meeting.
We also usually use the Town Meeting as an opportunity for those groups and organisations receiving grants from the Town Council to report back on the work they have done.
The 2025 Annual Town Meeting will be held at the Winsford Academy, starting at 7pm on Tuesday 26th May 2026.
The agenda will be published here for the above meeting closer to the time of the meeting. For the minutes from the 2025 Annual Town Meeting, follow this link
