THE ANNUAL PARISH MEETING 2009

Held on the 7th April some thirty parishioners attended the Annual Parish Meeting and heard Jeff Beer JP present a very interesting insight into the role of the lay magistrate. Other short reports were given by our District and County Councillors as well as our Beat Manager Pc Steve Mutton. The annual report of the Parish Council was given by the chairman which together with the minutes will shortly be available on the parish web site. After the formal part of the meeting many stayed on for informal discussion over refreshments. Although attendance was slightly down it was encouraging to note that there was wide representation of the parish including people from Torcross, Beesands, Beeson, Start, Kellaton, Chillington and Stokenham.
Cllr. Peter Greening, Chairman Stokenham Parish Council.
