Every English Parish has to hold a Parish Meeting for all the local electors. This meeting has to be held between 1st March and 1st of June.
The 2025 Annual Meeting will be at Exeter Hall at 7 pm on Thursday, 24 April. The Council will distribute its usual printed Newsletter beforehand.
The agenda is available at the link below.
How This Year’s Annual Parish Council Meeting Will Work
This year, the Parish Council is taking a different approach from the traditional meeting format to encourage more open engagement and conversation.
The meeting will begin with a welcome speech from the Parish Council Chairman. Following this, instead of a series of formal presentations, residents will be invited to move around the hall and speak directly with representatives from key local projects and developers. This more informal, interactive format is designed to give residents the opportunity to:
-
Ask questions directly to those involved
-
Learn more about current and upcoming developments
-
Share thoughts and concerns in a more personal setting
If you're unable to ask your question on the day, there will also be a chance to submit written questions. These will be passed on to councillors and developers, who will respond after the meeting by email.
We hope this format makes the meeting more engaging and accessible, and we look forward to hearing your views!
If you are unable to attend the meeting and would like to ask a question, please email the Clerk at clerk@kidlington-pc.gov.uk
The Parish Council Chairman presides at the meeting and the Parish Council, as the only formal body in a position to do so, normally sets the agenda. However, the Parish Meeting is the residents' meeting and the public are encouraged to participate.
