The annual parish meeting is to be held on 13th May at 7pm in Hickling village hall.
All Parished areas are required by law to hold an Annual Parish Meeting, which must take place between 1 March and the 1 June (inclusive). The meeting is an opportunity for electors to have a say on anything they consider valuable to the people of the Parish. The Parish Council will also let local residents know what they have been doing over the past year. The Annual Parish Meeting is for all electors of the Parish. It is not a meeting of the Parish Council and anyone is welcome to attend the meeting however, only registered electors of the parish may speak during the meeting. Any registered elector may ask a question of the Council which will usually be answered by the Chair, the Clerk or the Council, 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 the whole purpose of the meeting.
