THE ANNUAL TOWN RESIDENTS’ meeting is an opportunity for you to raise any matters of concern relating to the Parish and it will be chaired by the Mayor Cllr Chris Bryant. and will be chaired by the Town Mayor and Chairman of the Council, Cllr Chris Bryant. Prior to the start of the meeting there is an exhibition of local organisations possibly from the District and County, but this will be confirmed nearer the time. If you want to raise any concerns or indeed applaud any of the Town Council’s achievements, you can submit questions in advance by 1 May to the Town Clerk, addressed to John Harrison and this way the Councillors can be prepared with answers. You can ask questions on the night but may have to await a response should further information be required. The meeting also al-lows the Town Council to give updates on a range of projects and gives residents the opportunity to share their views and help shape priorities for the year ahead.
