Ordinary elections only take place every four years now,
with the next ones being in March 2009. However, annual wardmotes,
that is to say, annual ward meetings, are still taking place to
allow constituents to meet their elected representatives. The main
purpose of the meeting is an opportunity to raise any concerns and
ask any questions of the Alderman and the Common Councilmen. There
are, in addition, a couple of brief formal items to attend to which
are concerned with appointing ward officers and an element of City
tradition to observe in the way that the meeting is ceremonially
opened and closed.
The next annual wardmotes will take place in March 2008 and most
(but not all) are being held on Friday 14 March at 12.00 noon. All
electors on the ward lists will be sent an invitation in February
or you can find out the date, time and venue from the timetable
