Bottisham Residents Annual Meeting – Have Your Say

Residents of Bottisham are invited to attend the Annual Residents Meeting.

Date & Time: Tuesday 14 April 2026 at 7:30pm
Location:  Bottisham Sports and Social Club

This is your opportunity to have your say about the future of Bottisham.

Bottisham is your village, and the Annual Residents Meeting is the chance for you to raise issues, ask questions and discuss ideas with representatives from a range of organisations, alongside your Parish Council.

Your Parish Councillors are elected by you to represent the wants and needs of the community, and this meeting is a key opportunity to share your views.

Residents are encouraged to raise any issues that matter to them, including:

• Transport and public transport

• Policing and community safety

• Environmental concerns

• Highways and potholes

• Planning and development

• Community facilities and village life

Looking to the Future
