Unfortunately only three community councillors were returned after the recent elections which means the Community Council cannot conduct business until a by-election has been held on 15th December. The community council is therefore looking for candidates to put themselves forward by the 3rd November.
The nomination pack is available here:
To discuss what can be done for households, organisations and businesses during this difficult time
AGENDA will include:
● Cost of Living Household payment for permanent residents
● Help with Heating
● Community Electric Bus
● Commuity Resilience
● Ensuring Community Assets are Financially Secure
● How local businesses can be helped
The Community Council will hold two meetings*:
7.30pm, 26th September at the Colintraive Village Hall
To discuss ideas and consult
7.30pm, 17th October at the Glendaruel Village Hall
To feedback on progress and results
*DATES CHANGED FROM PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED
Residents are encouraged to come to both meetings to Contribute ideas and help move initiatives forward.
If you can’t make it, please email secretary@colglencommunitycouncil.org.uk
With your questions & ideas!
In association with the Resilience Group, CGDT and the Cruach Mhor Windfarm Trust
NOMINATIONS
Until Thursday 8th September at 4pm, the Returning Officer (RO) will be in a position to accept nomination form for Community Councillors for the Colintraive and Glendaruel Community Council. The forms can be returned by post to the Returning Officer, Kilmory, Lochgilphead, PA31 8RT, by hand to the same address, or by emailing to elections@argyll-bute.gov.uk. The guidance notes in the nomination pack make reference to the possibility that your proposer and seconder may need to email separately to confirm that they support your nomination where it is not possible to have wet signatures on nomination forms returned by email.
If you have any questions about the election process then please do feel free to get in touch with elections@argyll-bute.gov.uk
The Community Council does have paper copies of the nomination pack, but recommends emailing nominations in the first place. Do get in touch via this website if you would like to know more about becoming a community councillor.
