Review of Scheme for Establishment of Community CouncilsElections and Terms of Office
Currently, full elections take place every four years. Would you support a move to a three-year election cycle with no by-elections? Vacancies would be filled via the co-option process. (see Scheme page 9 and Guidance page 103)
Where the number of elected community councils fall below the minimum requirement or co-option has not been possible, a by-election may be called by South Ayrshire Council.
Less cumbersome or confusing.
Should remain at 4 years but remove bi-elections and co-opt from a vote of the current community cllr but new co-opt should have to attend 3meetings before being able to be co-opted
