Annual Parish Meeting

The Annual Parish Meeting takes place on the evening of Tuesday 23 April in the Community Centre.
Join us for an informative celebration of life in Christchurch, with a guest speaker from Cambridgeshire Police.
The Annual Parish Meeting is your opportunity to come together as a community to discuss all aspects of life in Christchurch, raise issues or make suggestions. It’s also an opportunity for village organisations and groups to showcase their work and celebrate their achievements.
No election was called in respect of this vacancy, so the Parish Council intends to co-opt a new Councillor at its meeting on Monday 11 March. Anyone interested in applying for consideration for this position should submit a brief written statement outlining their relevant knowledge, skills and experience, their reasons for wanting to become a Councillor and what they hope to achieve in the role. Statements must be submitted to the Clerk no later than Wednesday 6 March.
The Good Councillor's Guide explains how local councils work and the role of a Councillor.
The three vacancies resulting from May's elections have now been filled. Shaun Potter, Ryan Feeney and Julia Hayes were co-opted onto the Council, bringing different knowledge and experience to broaden our horizons.
We welcome them all and look forward to working with them for the next four years.
