Following the Annual Town Council meeting in which 23 residents voted in favour of a ‘Parish Poll’, the council has announced that the poll will go-ahead.

The question to be asked in the poll is, “that the position of Executive Officer be completely abolished and replaced with a Clerk and administrative support”.

The poll will take place on Thursday the 18th of June, between 4pm and 9pm. Residents can vote at their usual polling station. For additional information contact the Town Hall on 01740 652157 or visit www.ferryhill.gov.uk
