The next meeting will be on Wednesday 25th March 2020 at 6pm. The Agenda is on the Parish Council Documents page when available. Please note all meetings suspended until further notice due to Coronavirus ANNUAL OPEN PARISH MEETING Normally by May every year the Parish Council hosts what is called the "Annual Parish Meeting" which always precedes the usual Council Meeting. All residents of the parish are invited to attend this meeting and discuss any matter that concerns them and to hear the Chair of the Parish Council outline plans for the forthcoming year. Because of the lockdown we will probably be unable to host a meeting this year as at the current time it would be in contravention of Government guidance. We have been instructed to "not pursue any arrangements for the Annual Parish Meeting until the Government has clarified matters". However the Parish Council is still operating and carrying on the business of managing contracts, carrying out ongoing maintenance, etc. Therefore if you want to raise any matters that under normal circumstances you would like to have raised at a Council Meeting please send the Clerk, Anita Allsopp or any Councillor, an email or message."
