Commentary on Sections

Part 7 – Communities and Community councils

Section 97 – Action to be taken following community council’s consideration of results of certain community polls

110.Requires the community council to inform the convenors of the community meeting which triggered the poll of what action (if any) the council intends to take in response to the poll. Sub-paragraph 1(a) of the new paragraph 29A of Schedule 12 to the 1972 Act makes clear that there is no legal expectation that the community council will take any action in response to the poll. This action need be taken only where the community poll was triggered at a community meeting of local government electors.
