Farnham Town Council’s annual meeting and the election of the new Town Mayor has been postponed in line with government guidelines.

The Mayor and all existing officer holders will continue in post until the annual meeting can be held.

Councillor John Neale, Leader of Farnham Town Council says: “In light of the current situation, we have reviewed our calendar of meetings and have deferred the next ordinary meeting which was due to be held on 30 April to 14 May. This meeting will take place remotely using Zoom video software and will include business such as the signing off of the accounts for 2019/20.”

Although Farnham Town councillors cannot meet in the Council Chamber, in line with government guidance, meetings are taking place remotely. This includes working groups and a weekly management meeting between the Leader, Mayor of Farnham and Town Clerk. Delegated decision making means normal council business can continue until such times as the Council can meet formally.
