Futures Forum: Hustings in Sidmouth: Town Council Election ... Tuesday 21st April
But since then, the official declaration of candidates has been made:
Futures Forum: The final list of candidates for Sidmouth Town Council election announced
The Vision Group has formally written to all the candidates, inviting them to attend next week's hustings.
It was also decided to invite all the declared winners of the uncontested seats as well, so they too would have the opportunity to meet the electorate.
The details are set out in the letter sent out to both candidates and newly/re-elected Councillors:
Dear Prospective Sidmouth Town
Council Candidate/
Dear Sidmouth Town Councillor
I would like to invite you to the Vision Group for Sidmouth (VGS)
Hustings for the 2015 STC elections.
The Hustings will be held between 6pm and 7.30pm
on Tuesday 21st April at Sidmouth College, Primley Road, Sidmouth, EX10
9LG
The event will be divided into two separate sessions, following the
general welcome from the Chair who will set out the
procedure.
The first session will commence at just after 6pm and will be styled
on a “parents evening” format. Both
Prospective STC Candidates and newly elected/re-elected STC Councillors
will be seated at pre-arranged individual tables – in alphabetical order – set
around the College Hall, to take questions
from constituents. Members of the public
would then be free to sit at the table of their ward candidates and Councillors
to ask questions – taking it in turn before moving on to another candidate/ward
member for the same ward but in a different part of the Hall. The Chair will
go round the Hall to ensure respect and
courtesy is afforded by all participants.
The second session will start at about 6.45pm and will take the
format of a debate on the stage between all the Prospective STC Candidates.
Members of the public will have been asked to prepare questions beforehand and
these will be fielded through the chair to the
Prospective Candidates from the audience. The panelists
will not be aware of the exact wording of the questions beforehand; they will
not be subject to follow-up questions from the audience, although the chair
might chose to ask for clarification. The
question-and-answer session will end at 7.30pm
approximately.
Refreshments will be available throughout the
evening, provided by the VGS.
Please confirm you will be in
attendance. We look forward to seeing you.
Best regards,
Best regards,
Dave
Bramley
Chair
Vision Group
for Sidmouth
