WHAT IS THE ANNUAL TOWN MEETING?

 

Under the Local Government Act 1972 s9 all parishes/towns in England must hold an Annual Parish/Town Meeting between 1 March and 1 June every year. This is an annual statutory public meeting of the town’s electors and is therefore not used to address standard Council business.

 

This is a public meeting, NOT a Town Council meeting, and all Paddock Wood Councillors are invited to attend. Anyone on the electoral roll has the right to speak at the meeting on matters pertaining to the Town.

 

Attendees are advised that The Openness of Local Government Bodies Regulations 2014 permits any person (including the press) who attends the meeting to film or record the proceedings.
