Ramsgate Parish Council Elections.

Thanet District Council have announced that Ramsgate Parish Council Elections will be held early in 2009. I have just telephoned them to confirm this as there appears to be some confusion about this both in the press and on the blogs, what will happen is that a date will be set, candidates will apply, we will vote for them, those elected will become parish councillors and we get a parish council.

The parish council can then decide to turn itself into a town council, take over the charter trustees and elect a Mayor.

I have been snooping around trying to get some answers please post any further information. We had similar problems wresting power form the decayed government of Sandwich in the 1800s and as not much has happened wresting power from Thanet District Council you may wish to read about what happened last time.
