He explained that is how it works with Althams Parish Council which I think has been mentioned on here. He also suggested there could be a referendum on the subject as part of next Mays election.
A bit that confused me was that if a Town voted for them they would get them but, if they voted against they would not. I am not sure if that meant some towns could end up with a Town Council whiles others would not depending on how the votes went.
Gary, it is a shame you were not there, your favorite topic of Council supplied but resident looked after handing baskets was also mentioned and might be extended next year
Gayle could confirm this news if she had arrived at the meeting on time
