Northumberland Council Elections 2008

 

 


On 1 May this year, everyone over the age of 18 years old was given the opportunity to have their say in arguably the most important local election process of this generation.

Back in December, Local Government Minister John Healey announced in Parliament that one brand new single authority was to be created to cover the whole of Northumberland. He also announced a timetable to move towards the new council, with elections in May 2008 and the new authority to be ready to begin on 1 April 2009.

These elections presented an opportunity for people in Northumberland to vote for a councillor to represent their area in the new single Northumberland council.

The major changes will see 67 councillors in Northumberland from 1 April 2009, instead of over 300 councillors that currently represent the county at district and county council level.

The 67 elected councillors have taken over the remaining business for the county council until the new council begins in April 2009. Those councillors representing the district councils will also continue in post until April 2009.
