Calling a special Town Meeting

A special Town Meeting is the same as a Town Council Meeting, but at this one the voices of ordinary voters in the town count for exactly the same as town councillors, and everyone can vote on any motion proposed.

Here's how easy it is. Depending on what your Town Meeting is being called for, print out something similar to this:

"NOTICE OF MEETING OF LEOMINSTER TOWN
All electors of Leominster are invited to a Town Meeting at the Community Centre, Church Road, at 6pm on July 28th 2011.
The purpose of the Meeting will be for townspeople to discuss their response to the revelations in the Hereford Times about disturbingly high salaries paid to officials of Herefordshire Council."

Now sign the notice and print yr name, then get FIVE other people who live in the town to sign it.
Finally, send/give it to the town clerk - at least seven days before the meeting - and post a photocopy on a noticeboard somewhere in town.

That's it! An official Town Meeting must now take place and the Mayor or Deputy Mayor must chair it impartially.

Let's go to work!
