Meetings are usually held on the 1st Tuesday of each month (excluding August), starting at 7.30pm. They are held in Stanton Drew Village Hall and all Parishoners and members of the public are welcome to attend meetings.

Outside of the agenda item ‘Public Participation’, members of the Public are not allowed to comment or participate unless in exceptional circumstances, and only then with an invitation and permission of the Chairman.

This is a totally informal meeting, we expect it to wind up around 6.30pm.
Parishioners can informally raise any issue they wish on the evening.
We would like you to meet your Parish Councillors and understand what we do.

*Q: What is an Annual Parish Meeting?
A: Every year, in every English Parish, the Parish Council is required to hold a “Parish Meeting”. Although the Parish Council arranges this meeting it is not a meeting of the Parish Council. It is, specifically, a meeting for Parish Residents to bring up any matter, raise any question or put forward ideas and proposals, in relation to the Parish.
The 2026 Annual Parish meeting will be followed (approx 6.30pm) by the more formal Parish Council annual meeting, there is no obligation to stay on for this, however you are very welcome to stay and watch.
Emergency Business – In absolute emergency, our Standing Order No.10. ‘Emergency Business’ allows for business to be handled by The Clerk, in consultation with the Chairman and one other Councillor.
The Annual Parish Meeting for 2020 and 2021 were cancelled because of Covid 19 restrictions.
We will always endeavour to get the agenda for forthcoming meetings on this website in advance of the meeting. Click Here.
