The Annual Parish Council meeting will take place on Monday 17th May  and the Annual Parish meeting is called for Monday 31st May.

Both meetings will be held at the Institute Hall in Higham Road commencing at 7.30pm.

• To permit the meetings to be held in accordance with current covid-secure arrangements, members if the public wishing to attend either or both of these meetings should contact our Parish Clerk in advance and certainly by not later than 5pm on the day of any meeting they wish to attend.
•  
• Meeting access details are published on the council notice boards with the notice of agenda and are available, upon request, from the Parish Clerk. Please check these web-pages periodically for notification of change to this situation.

In normal circumstances, Parish Council meetings take place on the second Monday in January, March, May, July, September and November and are held in the Institute Hall, Higham Road. Meetings start at 7.30pm and all residents and members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The Parish Council also holds an Annual Parish Meeting, usually in April/ which all organisations from within the village are invited to attend and present a report on their activities during the preceding year or their future plans.

Parish Council meetings are a useful way to find out more about the community in which you have chosen to live. They also provide residents with an opportunity to raise matters of concern.

Dates, start times and agendas for parish council meetings can be read on the Parish Council notice boards located by The Anchor Public House in Upper Street and by the footbridge over the River Stour (known locally as the Weir), Lower Street.
