Parishes in England are required by law to hold an Annual Parish Meeting. It is an open meeting of residents, independent of the parish council, which allows residents to discuss issues of concern or interest within their parish.

The Annual Parish Meetings for the area covered by Neroche Parish Council are held in April or May in Neroche Hall. Technically four meetings held, one for each of the civil parishes of Bickenhall, Curland, Orchard Portman with Thurlbear, and Staple Fitzpaine, although in practice issues of common concern are dealt with at an open public meeting at the start of the evening.

But it is much more than this. Our Meeting is a pleasant and informative event, a major part of which is to give to local organisations and groups the chance to display and talk about their activities. In this way residents can find out what is happening in Neroche and join the groups. Importantly, Action Groups, formed as a result of the Neroche Parish Plan, report on the progress they have made and plans for the future.

In addition, outside speakers may be invited to talk about matters of interest to the community.

The Chair of the council presents an Annual Report. This outlines what the council has achieved in the past year. Residents of the four parishes have the opportunity to raise and discuss matters of interest with the council during the meeting.
