mobius Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/Default.aspx?page=4631Thanks for posting the link. I've been looking through these, and noticed at two candidates (R Major) and (A Pegg) have been elected to represent both West Bedlington and East Bedlington (Sleekburn) wards.Is this allowed? If not, do they have to give up one of their seats to another candidate? Does there have to be another election? As ever the county council web site is hopeless.M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Robinson Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Well it seems we now have a Town Council instead of a Parish council? What is the difference........the councillors get to elect a mayor. Take a bow Councillor Pegg errr....... Mayor of West Bedlington Town Council. http://www.newspostleader.co.uk/latest/Par...atus.5434673.jp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article refers to a 'South Bedlington', as far as I'm aware, there is only North, East and West Bedlington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
