Parish meeting

A parish meeting is a meeting all the electors in a civil parish in England are entitled to attend.[1]

In some cases, where a parish or group of parishes has fewer than 200 electors, the parish meeting can take on the role of a parish council, with statutory powers, and electing a chairman and clerk to act on the meeting's behalf. Every parish in England has a parish meeting.[2]
