Annual Parish Meeting - 2004 |
||
April 28th 2004
Only 2 members of the public attended, a disaster compared to recent years. Last year the Reading Room was packed with over 40 members of the public who were treated to a full and interesting agenda, including reports from village groups and organisations, district and county councillors and the police. Neither the district councillor or county councillor were able to attend this year, and the police sent a written report via Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator, Councillor Brookhouse. The purpose of an Annual Parish Meeting is for the council to report to its electorate on what it has accomplished in the last year. Members of the public are permitted to ask questions and to make statements on relevant matters during the meeting. Although the meeting is chaired by the chair of the parish council it is not a business meeting and the parish council do not make decisions. It is a forum for the electorate, and an opportunity for members of the public to talk to councillors about anything of interest or concern. The reasons for the low turn out will no doubt be discussed at the next meeting of the parish council on Wednesday May 26th at 7:30 p.m. in the Reading Room. Members of the public are also invited to attend this meeting.
