Annual Town Meeting

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

Full details of the Local Government Act 1972 can be found here:

Local Government Act 1972

The Middlewich Town Council Annual Town Meeting is a review of the Council year and follows a legal requirement for town and parish councils to hold an electors meeting to raise an issue of their choice.

The meeting is open to the public and all residents who are on the electoral role of the parish are entitled to raise an issue of their choice and vote at the meeting. Formal Notice of this meeting is given through the local press.

Please contact the Town Clerk if you want advice on the best way to suggest items to be included on the agenda or to submit questions in advance.
