Information on a Parish Meeting

All Parish Councils throughout England are required by law to hold an Annual Parish Meeting, which must take place between 1st March and the 1st of June.

The meeting enables the Parish Council and local groups to explain what they have been doing over the last year and provides an opportunity for the electors to have their say on anything they consider is important to the people of the Parish.

The Annual Parish Meeting is a meeting of all the local government electors for the Parish, any elector may make suggestions and comment on anything relevant to the residents of Hartlebury.

There can be, and often is, confusion between the Annual Parish Meeting and the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council. The Annual Parish Meeting is not a Council meeting.

HAVE YOUR SAY

/in /by

Have your say on the

future of Worcestershire

Residents are being urged to have their say on the most significant change to

local councils in Worcestershire for more than 50 years.

On Thursday, (5 February), the Government launched a seven-week

consultation asking people, businesses and local organisations for their

opinions on two proposals that will reshape the way council services are

delivered across the county.

You can find links to both proposals and information on how to have your say

by visiting the Government’s local government reorganisation in

Worcestershire page.

(https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/local-government-

reorganisation-in-worcestershire)

Paper copies of both proposals are available to view in local libraries.

The deadline for responses is Thursday, 26 March

Scarecrow Competition

Hartlebury Parish Council would like to thank everyone who took the time to enter into another successful scarecrow competition. 

Our thanks go to the competitors that took the time to build their scarecrows, to those that toured around the village to look at the scarecrows and to those that voted for their favourite. We had 21 scarecrow entries. 

We would also like to thank The Tap House for hosting this event and Simon Emeny for putting the map together.

This year we had voting boxes at various locations around the village to enable residents to vote over the whole of the scarecrow weekend.

Congratulations go to :

First place: The Tap House for Ozzy 

Second place: The Leapgate Activity Centre for Minions

Third place: The Red House for their Ozzy. 

The Tap House have donated their prize to the Kidderminster Food Bank together with an additional donation from themselves.

Once again feed back from the public has been brilliant, everyone said how much they enjoyed themselves, and recommend we do the event again next year.
