Election Request Accepted

North Somerset Electoral Services have said:

" I can confirm that a petition for election containing fourteen signatories was delivered to this office on the afternoon of Tuesday 5 March. This constitutes a valid claim of poll in respect of the current vacancy on Bleadon Parish Council (arising from the resignation of Councillor Trevor Marshall). I am liaising with the Returning Officer to set a date for the election. I will contact you when the election timetable has been agreed to advise of the date of publication of the Notice of Election. " Also the subsequent additional vacancies of Brian Gamble and Peter Trevitt will also be filled with this one as another request for poll was received by the April 2nd deadline.

BOB also understands that potential candidates have agreed to be nominated so once that is confirmed I will let you all know who so that we can lend our support. Thanks to all who have made this possible.
