The Annual Parish Meeting is not a Council meeting, but rather is a meeting of local government electors registered for the area. This meeting must take place between 1st March and the 1st June (inclusive).

This meeting allows the Parish Council to explain what it has been doing over the last year and it provides an opportunity for the general public to ask questions and communicate any views and opinions.  The Annual Parish Meeting can be attended by the general public and they are entitled to participate.

The Chairman of the Parish Council will chair this meeting in his/her absence the Vice Chairman will take over. The Chairs of each committee will give a brief statement.

The Annual Parish Meeting date will be advertised in the Parish Council newsletter, Hurst Life page, Facebook page and website.
