Millom Town Council
Millom Town Council was formed in 1974 when the parish boundaries changed from Cumberland.
In the Pensioners Hall, Millom
All Parish and Town Councils throughout England are required by law to hold an annual parish meeting at this time each year.
The purpose of calling this meeting is so that the Council can explain what it has been doing over the last year and it enables the electors to have their say on anything which they consider is important to the people of Millom and Haverigg.
Anyone may attend but only registered electors of Millom/Haverigg may speak and vote.
Yes, any registered elector may ask questions of the Council. These will usually be answered by the Mayor or by the Parish Administrator or a designated Councillor.
An elector may also make suggestions and comment on anything pertinent to the people of Millom & Haverigg. This will be welcomed and is the whole purpose of the meeting.
If able, the Mayor of the Town Council will chair the meeting. If the Mayor is not able to attend, then the meeting will elect a chairperson from amongst those electors present.
Usually, they do attend and will speak if need be. But the purpose of the meeting is to enable the ordinary electors to have their say.
Councillors will listen with interest and as electors themselves, also have the opportunity to raise questions and make comments if they wish.
Yes, a written record of the meeting will be taken and will be presented at the next Annual Town Meeting (usually in 12 months time).
As long as need be within reason. It really depends on those present and the number of questions and the discussion that is raised.
A table will be provided for the local press as the Council do for all their public meetings.
