Annual Parish Meeting 2025

The purpose of the meeting is to give the Parish Council, and other local organisations an opportunity to let local residents know what they have been doing over the past year. The meeting is also an opportunity for electors to have a say on anything they consider valuable to the people of the Parish.

There will be a number of local groups, clubs, societies and other voluntary and statutory organisations attending who will present at the meeting and/or have an exhibition stall.

The Annual Parish Meeting is for all electors of the Parish. It is not a meeting of the Parish Council. Anyone is welcome to attend the meeting, however, only registered electors of the parish may speak and vote during the meeting. Any registered elector may ask a question of the Council which will usually be answered by the Chair, the Clerk, or a designated Councillor. An elector may also make a suggestion and comment on anything pertinent to the residents of the Parish. This will be welcomed and is one of the main purposes of the meeting.

The Chairman of the Parish Council will chair the meeting on behalf of the community and minutes will be taken by The Clerk. The agenda calling the meeting is published 7 clear days before the meeting. The agendas will be available on the Parish Council website and the noticeboards around the village.

Please come along to the meeting to find out more about this great community and have your input into defining the Parish Council's strategy going forward. It is a great opportunity to find out more about the different groups based in Gretton and to get involved.
