Please remember that there is a Mayoral Election in the West of England – the Parish sits within the Combined Authority area of the West of England. Combined authorities (and their elected mayors) are responsible for delivering strategic roles such as transport planning and strategic planning (especially on economic development).
Your local polling station will be the Cold Ashton Parish Hall – so come along and vote. In a democracy it is our duty to do this – even if you are going to write “none of the above”. This time the election will be run with a “first past the post” system.
