Election Update

It’s your vote – make sure you use it!

Nominations are now being collated for you to elect community representatives to sit on the Burngreave New Deal for Communities partnership board. It will soon be over to you to elect who you want to represent your community – don’t miss your chance to have a say.

Those elected will be joining five local residents who are already on the board:

Rose Ardron (Chair)

Muhammad Iqbal

Tony Hall

Dorett Buckley Greaves

Aisha ‘Special K’ Wilson

Voluntary and Community Sector candidates

In addition to the community representatives, you also need to select representatives from the voluntary and community (VolCom) sector.

The VolCom organisations, who the candidates will work for, will be located within, and provide a service to, the BNDfC area.

What to watch out for…

We felt it was important to incorporate an information session at the BNDfC public meeting on 28 May 2005 so that people who couldn’t attend the previous information sessions had a final chance to find out more about becoming a board member. Therefore, the deadline for candidate nominations to be put forward to join the BNDfC partnership board has been extended until 6 June 2005.

The electoral register closes on 13 June 2005 so make sure you are registered. If you are not sure please complete the form that should have been delivered to your home and send it back by this date or get in touch with the BNDfC Information Shop on Spital Hill.

From 20 June 2005, ballot papers will be distributed to all homes in the BNDfC area.

There will then be a three-week period to post you vote, or if you miss this, you can bring your ballot paper to the Abbeyfield Festival on 10 July where BNDfC will have a polling station.

On Tuesday 21 June 2005(12 noon–2pm), Saturday 25 June 2005(3–5pm) and Monday 27 June (6–8pm), the BNDfC Information Vehicle will be out and about on the streets of Burngreave for the election hustings. This is your chance to meet the candidates and hear what they have to say and what they want to do. Look out for more details on this including venues.

Contact the BNDfC Information Shop if you need any help or more information and don’t forget everyone over the age of 15 who lives in the BNDfC area is entitled to vote.
