Elections - preparations
On 4 July 2011 the Council sent a letter to all community councils informing them of new arrangements for elections. These will take place on a 4-yearly cycle in November. The first elections under the new system will take place on Thursday 3 November 2011.
The letter asks community councils to tell Democratic Services as soon as possible how many members it would like in their area, and if they wish to continue with sub-areas.
Accompanying the letter were several documents that make up the new 'Scheme of Establishment'. These include the new Constitution and Standing Orders that will be adopted by all community councils in Perth and Kinross after the elections in November.
The letter also asks community councils to decide when and how often they meet. This information will be inserted in the Standing Orders. However this can wait til after the elections in November 2011.
The Council has published a Standard Agenda for the first meeting of each community council after the elections - click here.
A page of information on the elections and other documents relating to the Perth and Kinross Scheme of Establishment is available on the Council's website - click here.
As the deadline approaches (Thursday 29 Sept 2011, 5pm) the Council has confirmed that nomination forms and signed statements can be scanned and emailed to the Community Council Liaison Officer at communitycouncils@pkc.gov.uk.
