Residents in “Brampton” will have received a letter today from Broadland District Council asking for their views about moving our polling station from Brampton to Buxton on the grounds of cost.
We believe that this is contrary to democracy and that people should be able to vote in ther own community. You simply cannot put a price on voting. YOU ARE URGED TO REPLY TO THE LETTER ON THE FORM PROVIDED REJECTING THE SUGGESTED MOVE.
There will be a special meeting of Brampton and Oxnead Parish Council to be held in the Village Hall at 7.30pm on the 8th October. This is to discuss the proposed possible change to the Brampton Polling Station which would see it moved from the Village Hall to Buxton. Everybody has been circulated by Broadland and asked for their views – we would also like to know what you think as, on the face of it, this is a profoundly un-democratic suggestion. If you could spare 15 minutes to attend the meeting and give your views it would be appreciated. As always please let neighbours etc know.
