The agenda will be published on the parish council website not less than 7 clear days before the meeting.  Reports will also be available to view on the parish council website.

Any person or organisation wishing to place an item on the agenda should contact the Parish Clerk: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. before Wednesday 15 April 2026.

All Parish Councils in England are required by law to hold an Annual Parish Meeting between March 1 and June 30 each year. The meeting is made up of the local registered electors and is held to discuss 'parish affairs' which have no statutory definition. Parish affairs can be any item or topic that relates to or affects the parish.   It is an ideal forum for the parish council to engage with residents and for residents to voice their views and concerns on anything which they consider is important to the people of the parish. The public have a statutory right to attend but only registered electors have the right to ask questions and vote at the parish meeting.

A FINAL REMINDER TO HAVE YOUR SAY:

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) has a consultation on its new Local Plan, giving people an opportunity to have their say on it before the deadline of Friday 27 March.

With demand for housing, employment land and services continuing to rise, the Local Plan will play a decisive role in determining how growth is managed and where investment is focused.  It will guide critical decisions about where new homes and jobs are built, how town centres are regenerated, how transport and infrastructure are delivered, and how green spaces and the area’s character are protected.

Share your views now via an online survey on their website at www.westnorthants.gov.uk/consultations while there is a real opportunity to influence the final plan.
