The Annual Full Council Meeting is a key session where the Town Council formally begins its new civic year. At this meeting, councillors elect the Chairman and Vice Chairman, confirm committee memberships, and appoint representatives to outside bodies. It provides an opportunity to set the foundations for the year ahead, ensuring that the council is properly structured and able to carry out its duties effectively. In addition to these formalities, the Annual Meeting may also include reports from the Chairman, officers, and committees, as well as updates on local projects and community matters. While it follows a set legal framework, it also serves as a public forum where residents can observe how their council is organised and how it intends to manage local services and priorities in the coming year.
