Ferrensby Village Meeting Agenda, October 21st 2026
Hello subscriber the next village meeting is planned.


Ferrensby Parish Meeting Announcement
Thursday 21st October 2026 | 7:00pm
General Tarleton, Ferrensby

The recent WhatsApp notifications and petition have caused concern for many, which has been expressed to me. Not all residents are on WhatsApp and there are clearly some strongly held views across the community.

I also want to ensure that one issue does not dominate the agenda, when there are a variety of prominent items for discussion and I am keen to move forward with business that unites us. On that basis we will NOT discuss proposals, planting or raise ongoing discussions concerning the pond. Item 7 will be to take receipt of the petition and note it, outline the process for proposals and agree an official pond meeting date.

Working Together to Improve Ferrensby

The Village Meeting is an opportunity for everyone in the village to hear about progress, discuss the improvements we have planned and help agree the next steps. Our focus is on making practical improvements to Ferrensby, protecting its character and creating welcoming spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Whether you want to get involved, share an idea or simply stay informed, all residents are warmly welcome.
