The Parish Council is holding its Annual Meeting of the Council and the Annual Parish Meeting at 7PM on Thursday 24th May 2018.
The Annual Meeting of the Council is where we elect a chairman and appoint committee members and representatives to other bodies.
The Annual Parish Meeting is not a formal council meeting but a meeting of the parish electors. The Parish Council invite the public and press to hear reports from the Chairman, District and County Councillors, the Police and neighbourhood groups. It also enables electors to have their say on anything they consider is important to the people of the Parish.

The committee responded to a request from the Parish Council concerning funding community projects. The idea of AMRA was to compile a book detailing the history of the village and current photographs which would be made available to all households. It was hoped the book itself would become an historical document of the 20th and early 21st century.
AMRA held it’s first meeting under chairman David Smith. A number of changes were discussed amongst the committee members and a willingness to be more open and informative of meetings and decisions was agreed. The minutes of the July meeting can be found here.
One item discussed was the swift distribution of information to members. It was decided that email was the best forum to do this. Therefore, if you’re a member of AMRA can you please let the chairman know your email address. The chairman can be contacted here. AMRA’s next committee meeting will be on 5 October 2015, should you have any item for discussion please contact a member of the committee.
This has always been AMRA’s objective, it doesn’t mean AMRA are against change, but are keen to retain as much as possible of the unique nature of the village and parish in general. Membership shows that you too share these values and the committee welcomes your input and views.
If you have not joined AMRA or wish to rejoin please consider doing so, membership is an annual fee of £5 per member.
AMRA remains involved in the current issues surrounding the solar farm, lending support and experience to the residents of The Low who will be most affected by this development.
