Annual Parish Meetings

An Annual Parish Meeting (APM) is a requirement in England and it takes place between 1^st March and 1^st June each year*. The Parish Council normally convenes the APM and the Chairman of the Parish Council presides. Any elector in the parish has the right to vote at the APM.  Loppington normally holds its APM in March each year.

It is not a Parish Council meeting but a more informal way of community engagement. It is an opportunity for residents of the Parish to put forward ideas; discuss any issue or topic; or make comments on matters which they feel affects their local community. More generally it is an opportunity for local community groups to disseminate information and promote their organisations.

You are invited to come along to the APM and, if you wish to, make a presentation and celebrate your organisation and the good work that you do.
We review our Parish Plan regularly, this meeting is an appropriate forum for discussion if you have any proposals which you would like to put forward.

The next Annual Parish Meeting will take place on 12th May 2026.

Please contact your parish clerk or member of your parish council if you wish to put an item on the agenda.
