Under the initiative of Mayor, Cllr Zoë Metcalfe, and the agreement of Councillors, we've been taking our full town council meetings into the community we represent.
We usually hold Council meetings at our Council offices in Boroughbridge, but this year in August we have also held a Council meeting at the Village Hall in Minskip, and last week we were at Aldborough Village Hall 🙂
In November the council meeting will be in 1, Hall Square.
