 | Conservatives Chosing Team for Unitary Elections |
 |
This is the name of the Unitary Authority which will be established for Wiltshire, succeeding the present County Council and four District Councils.
The latter will cease on 31st March 2009 and elections for the Wiltshire Council will be on 4 June 2009, the same day as the European Elections (see over). Overall in Wiltshire the present 250 councillors will be replaced by 98 all in single seat electoral divisions. Our Association has 19 divisions and we are currently in the process of selecting Conservative candidates to fight all these seats.
This is proving in some ways to be a sad process since it inevitably means that a number of present councillors who have excellent records of involvement in and with their local communities will not succeed. Our Executive Council has appointed a Selection Committee from its membership comprising the following: me (Chairman), Penny Brown (Deputy Chairman Political), –Dirk Russell (Agent) and Cllr Caroline Morrison (Deputy Chairman – Membership) to arrange the selections including special general meetings of the local membership should there be two applications for the same division. The process has just concluded for Winterslow and Alderbury & Whiteparish and is being organised for Bourne & Woodford Valley Division. By the middle of November all the candidates will have been selected.
