Dear Mrs Robinson

Election of a Parish Councillor –

Parish of Little Bentley

I refer to your letter dated 21 October and confirm that, as you are aware, The Local Government Act 1972 makes it necessary for your Council to give public notice of the existence of the casual vacancy and to take the following steps to give such notice:-

By posting the notice in some conspicuous place or places within the Parish (e.g. parish notice boards, local post office etc);

In such other manner, if any, as appears to the Parish Council to be desirable for giving publicity to the notice;

A draft notice is enclosed. If, within 14 days, (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays) of the date of publication of the notice, the Returning Officer receives notice from ten electors for the electoral area claiming a poll, then the normal election procedure, the notice of election, notice of poll and the poll (if two or more nominations are received) will be set in motion. If no poll is claimed then the Parish Council must fill the vacancy by co-option.

Please be good enough to advise the date on which public notice of the vacancy was posted. I will, in due course, notify you whether or not a poll has been requested within the prescribed period.

Yours sincerely

Alison Rowlands

Electoral Services Manager

Report on our 2010 Show

Little Bentley Hall Waterways & Garden Show was held again from 5th & 6th June 2010, and raised just over £85,000 for Essex Charities.  Well done to everyone who attended and helped this was a wonderful result. We had approx 8,000 visitors over the weekend.

Even better in 2010 we did not receive a single Complaint from the Public or Traders. Everyone was full of praise for the layout and of course the beautiful gardens.

The Toilets were fantastic, thank you Hallmark Toilet Hire , the Food Court worked well, thank you the Garden Catering, and thank you to all the Volunteers who helped running the Afternoon Tea Garden, Art Exhibition, Antiques Valuations, Silent Auction, as well as manning the Gate, Car Parking, Cash Office etc.
