All council and committee meetings are open to the public who have a legal right to attend meetings to observe and in some cases contribute to proceedings.  It is important to remember, however, that council meetings and meetings of its committees are meetings held in public, not public meetings. 

 
A public meeting is a meeting of the public, so not a town council meeting.  Whilst it is not necessary for the town council to convene a public meeting, it may do so and has committed to do so whenever there is a subject matter which is so significant that the town council feels the public should have the opportunity to voice an opinion.  Any resolution passed at a public meeting is not binding on the town council or indeed any other local authority (or anyone else!), but clearly public opinion is important and the town council believes that residents should be as informed as possible about matters which affect our everyday lives, such as the proposal by Herefordshire Council to impose parking charges on those car parks in Kington that are currently free of charge. 

 

Kington Town’s Annual Meeting

The Annual Town Meeting is not a Council meeting but is a meeting of residents to raise matters of interest or concern or to discuss a topic that affects the Town.  It is also an opportunity for the town to celebrate local heroes through the civic awards which are presented at that meeting.  Chaired by the Mayor, this is very much a town meeting so please do come along.

The meeting for 2025 is scheduled for Wednesday 21st May 2025 at the Burton Hotel, Kington starting at 7.00pm.   The agenda for this meeting will be available below approximately one week before the meeting.  In the meantime, if there are any items you would like on the agenda, please speak to the Town Clerk no later than Friday 9th May 2025
