ANNUAL PARISH MEETING
18:30, Thursday 14th May 2026
St Mary’s Church, West Rainton

The Parish Council would like to invite you to the Annual Parish Meeting.
There can be some confusion between the Annual Parish Meeting and the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council. The Annual Parish Meeting is NOT a meeting of the Parish Council. Nor is it something to do with the Parish Church. It is a meeting for all the local government electors living within the parish boundary.
The purpose of the meeting is so that the Parish Council can present its Annual Report to explain what it has been doing over the last year, to enable you to ask questions and have your say on anything you consider is important to our community and parish area going forward.


Councillor Ian Diggory
(Chairperson of West Rainton and Leamside Parish Council)
