I can confirm that Parish Assemblies have been officially called in Eskdaleside-Ugglebarnby (ie Sleights), and in Egton, on Sunday evening. More are confidently expected during the course of tomorrow (Monday 8th June '09) and the coming days.
Other Parishes of the Esk Valley may wish to contact the Whitby Gazette to announce calls for Parsh Assemblies, and are expected to do so.
Any chairman of any Parish Council may call a Parish Assembly on his/her own authority. So, too, may any two Councillors of any Parish Council, or any six Electors of any Parish. Such are the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972.
Parish Assemblies may, if requested by any ten Electors present, or one thitd of the assembly, whichever is the less, call a Parish Poll on any Question arising at that Parish Assembly.
Parish Assemblies may wish to Poll their Parishes on the Question of independence from SBC, for example, or on whether they may wish to join Whitby & Esk Valley Community Council.
Parish Polls are not legally binding. They are merely an expression of the will of the people, and thus constitute the basis of our democracy.
