To Hold Remote Annual Parish Meeting

Every year, Town and Parish Councils are required to host a meeting at which residents can raise issues affecting the area.  The Beverley Parish Meeting will be held on Wednesday 28 April at 6pm.

Usually, this meeting takes place in a public venue, but due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, it will be held remotely on Zoom and live-streamed via YouTube.

The meeting will be chaired by Councillor Tom Astell, the .

He explained:

“The Parish Meeting is not a meeting of the Town Council.  It is instead an opportunity for residents, who are listed on the Electoral Register as living within the Parish of Beverley, to raise issues affecting the town – these might range from concerns regarding planning developments to celebrating aspects of our community spirit over what has been a difficult year for everyone.”

To speak at the meeting, you must be on the Electoral Register within the Parish of Beverley.  The neighbouring Parishes of Woodmansey and Molescroft will hold their own meetings in due course. 

However, there is often some confusion regarding where the Parish Boundaries lie, as some people who think they live in Beverley are actually outside the boundary.

To see if you live within the Parish, you can access a map showing the boundary at https://www.beverley.gov.uk/parish-meeting/
