Listed on the Town Council notice board are the candidates standing for the 21 places on the Town Council (May 2011 to May 2015). The election takes place on the same day as the district council elections, and the referendum on the Alternative Voting System. That is May 5th.
I will be standing again, and hope to be re-elected. I attach a copy of my CV with a slightly different ending from that which will appear in our campaign leaflets. I will let you know on May 6th how it all went.
Found it amusing how your CV ends about the banana
Alastair, there are three town councillors for this one ward and therefore three councillors to be elected on 05 May, is that right?
I can answer that. Each of the seven Abingdon wards has two district council (Vale) seats/councillors and three town councillor seats. Of course, some individuals are standing for both. This is likely to change for 2015, but let’s cross that bridge when we come to it!
