10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. Saturday 1st March 2025, in the Market Hall, Fore Street
It is a mandatory requirement for town and parish councils to hold an annual meeting for their residents between March and June. The purpose of the meeting is to provide the opportunity for local electors to receive reports on their council’s business and to discuss community matters.
The Annual Town Meeting 2025 for Kingsbridge residents, similar to previous years, will be held as a drop-in session (rather than a formal meeting in the Council Offices) between 10.00 a.m. and 2.00 p.m. on Saturday 1st March in the Market Hall, Fore Street.
This is a great opportunity to meet your Town Councillors face-to-face to discuss matters which are important to you, to provide your own ideas, come up to speed with the latest news and get that niggling issue ‘off your chest’. Chiefly, how will the Town Council spend its portion of your council tax next financial year 2025/26 from 1st April (which will be £113.61 from your total council tax bill for a Band D household).
If you have planning, flooding, recreation etc. matters which you wished to bring up then we will have our adopted Neighbourhood Plan (alongside Churchstow and West Alvington), Community Emergency Plan and Open Space, Sports & Recreation Plan all available.
It will also be an opportunity to pick up an application form to nominate your Kingsbridge Community Champions for 2025.
We will also have the Skatepark Committee alongside us because at the same time we are hosting a consultation event for a new pump track (purpose-built track for cycling) in town with the pivotal issue being “Where should it go”?
Kingsbridge Town Council is the local authority closest to Kingsbridge residents. It is consulted on almost everything that happens in the Kingsbridge community and is responsible for a wide range of public realm business in the town.
Please pop the date and time in your diaries and phones. We look forward to seeing you.
