Meeting Calendar

Come to a meeting

Stratford District Council meetings and workshops are public and you're welcome to attend.

Attending a meeting is a great way to see our local democracy in action. All meetings are held in the Council Chambers at 63 Miranda Street, unless otherwise stated. If you're not sure where to go, ask our team at reception and they'll show you.

Updates to our monthly meeting schedules will be made in our online Public Notices. We provide links to these below.
