NOTICE OF CANCELLED ANNUAL PARISH MEETING

The Annual Parish Meeting that was to be held on Wednesday 8th May 2024 at 7:00pm at the Hemingford Abbots Village Hall has been cancelled. 

The Annual Parish Meeting, held in compliance with the Local Government Act 1972, is an opportunity for any elector of the Parish to raise for discussion and, if appropriate, to a vote any subject they wish that is relevant to the Parish.  The APM has been cancelled as there were no issues raised by parishioners.

 

The Hemingford Abbots Annual Parish Meeting

Each year, between the 1st of March and 1st of June, HAPC organises an Annual Parish Meeting.  This usually takes place in the Village Hall in the evening after 6 pm and all electors, the public and press are welcome to attend.  This is an informal community event, usually called by the Chair of the Parish Council and refreshments are provided.

During the meeting you can expect to hear short reports from the Parish Council on what it has accomplished in the past year.  You may also hear from your District & County Councillors, community groups and any other organisation that the Parish Council has supported and/or funded during the year.  

The Council may also invite other organisations such as the local community policem, neighbourhood watch co-ordinator, etc. to provide information on what has been happening in their area of expertise, and this is where we would like your help…

If you have any ideas on presenters you’d like to hear from, or topics you would like to learn more about, then please email the Parish Clerk (parishclerk@hemingford-abbotsparishcouncil.org.uk) before the 22nd March 2024 with your thoughts.

St Margaret’s Church Hemingford Abbots – Welcome Pack

Posted by Pearl Muspratt – PCC St Margaret’s Church

St Margaret’s Church has prepared a welcome pack; this takes the form of an information leaflet which, in addition to general information also gives times and forms of services. It comes with welcome gifts of a mug, and a tea towel.

The mugs and tea towels will also be on general sale.  The tea towel has a beautiful illustration of the village, designed by David Hamilton as seen on on the board by the bus stop in the middle of the village.  The mug shows the church on one side and the pub on the other.  They are £5 each, a bargain!  And they make a lovely present for friends, especially if they have visited the village, maybe been to the flower festival.  

If you know of anyone who has recently moved to the village, or if you wish to purchase a mug or tea towel, please email Pearl Muspratt at pearlmuspratt@hotmail.com
