The Annual Parish Meeting will be held on Wednesday 7th May 2025 at 7pm at Breinton Village Hall.
The Annual Parish Meeting is not a council meeting but is an annual statutory meeting of the town electors, called in accordance with Schedule 12 (14) of the Local Government Act 1972. The meeting enables the Parish Council to explain what it has been doing over the last year and provides an opportunity for the electors to have their say on anything they consider is important to the people of the Parish.
Who can attend the meeting?
The Annual Parish Meeting is a meeting of all the local government electors for the Parish, which they are entitled to attend and participate in.
Will I be able to ask questions and make suggestions?
Yes, any registered elector may ask questions of the Council, which will usually be answered by the Chairman, a designated Councillor, or the Parish Clerk.
An elector may also make suggestions and comment on anything relevant to the residents of Beinton.
Who will chair the meeting?
The Chairman of the Council will chair the meeting or in his/her absence the Vice-Chairman.
Will Parish Councillors be there?
Yes, however, the purpose of the meeting is to enable the town’s electors to have their say. Councillors will listen with interest and as electors themselves, also have the opportunity to raise questions and make comments if they wish.
Will notes be taken of the meeting?
Yes, a written record of the meeting will be taken and presented at the next Annual Parish meeting for approval.
Guest Speaker. This year we have a guest speaker, Dave Marshall, Chair of the Cider Museum, who will make a presentation on activities of the museum.
