Charlton Kings Parish Council has taken the difficult decision to defer a Community Open Meeting which had been scheduled for Thursday October 22 in the light of recent safety guidance issued in relation to COVID-19.
The Parish Council’s Community Open Meetings provide an opportunity for local residents to meet their Councillors, hear about the work of the Council and to provide input in relation to local issues.
The council is considering the timing, format and focus of the deferred meeting in the context of emerging COVID-19 guidance, and an update will be provided in due course.
Any questions or queries should be directed to the clerk by emailing clerk@charltonkingparishcouncil.gov.uk or telephoning 01242 250087.
