Parish meeting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A parish meeting, in England, or a community meeting, in Wales, is a meeting to which all the electors in a civil parish or a Welsh community are entitled to attend. In some cases, where a parish or groups of parishes has fewer than 200 electors, the parish meeting can take on the role of the parish council itself, with statutory powers, and electing a chairman and clerk to act on the meeting's behalf.
