The Annual Parish Meeting

What is the Annual Parish Meeting?

This is formally called the “Annual Meeting Of the Parish”. It is where the Parish Council report to its electorate on what it has accomplished in the preceding year.

Electors, public and press are invited to hear reports from the Chairman of the Parish Council, Dorset Council Councillor, community groups and any organisation that the parish council has funded during the year.

The Council may also invite the local community police, neighbourhood watch co-ordinators, local headmaster etc to address and inform the audience on community matters.

The Annual Parish Meeting is a SEPARATE meeting from the Parish Council Annual Meeting. It should be a relatively informal event for the community whereas the Parish Council Annual Meeting is a formal council meeting.

The next meeting of the Annual Meeting of the Parish will be held on 15th April 2026 at 7.30 pm.
