Vote for Bill

Bill Roberts of Whiting Bay is the only Arran candidate standing for the Co-op’s South West Scotland’s Area Committee, which covers an area stretching from Paisley to Gretna. Eight candidates are vying for just four places, and if Arran is to have any input into Co-op decisions, it is important to vote for our Bill as their first preference.

The postal ballot papers will be sent out on 2nd July, but the Co-op has decided to send ballot papers only to those who voted in the last two years, when there was no Arran candidate. This strikes us as undemocratic, since many of those who are eligible to vote may not be able to do so. If you haven’t received a ballot paper by 9th July, you should request one by phoning 0800-015-6008. It’s a Freephone number, so it won’t cost you anything.

Thanks to Russell of Rotary for the information.
