The River CC was by self appointment this time round (no ballot) so why have a 'secret ballot' for co-opted members, surely they could have just walked into the posts?

i see boath park missed out on a place perhaps the next time its comes to voting we may get some one in.

Yes that was a pity because the Boath Park candidate actually wanted to stand for the initial election but wasn't registered on the roll. By the time it was sorted it was too late.
This observer still believes that Community Councils can have associate members who have no voting rights so who knows?
