Advisory Panel

A community advisory panel has been established to act as liaison between the local community and Grantscape, the accountable body for the community fund.

The panel comprises 7 persons:

• A representative of Grampound with Creed Parish Council
• The current Cornwall Councillor for this area
• 5 residents of Grampound with Creed Parish elected by a postal vote of all persons on the electoral register for the area in an election held in October-November 2013

Election of panel members autumn 2016

When the panel was set up, it was agreed that the elected members would serve for 3 years. New elections were due in autumn 2016. A leaflet was delivered to every household in the parish of Grampound with Creed inviting residents to put themselves forward for the positions on the panel. The closing date for nominations was 7 October. For a copy of the leaflet, see nominations sought.

By 7 October, 7 residents had put their names forward. After close of nominations, the 7 persons were advised that an election would then be held. However, as is the case with elections generally, a few days is usually allowed after close of nominations to see if any candidate wishes to withdraw their nomination. In this case, two of the candidates decided to withdraw leaving the other five to be elected unopposed. For details of the successful candidates, see panel members.
