Election Counting For Rutland County Council and Rutland Parish Councils to be delayed to accommodate Helen Briggs
Why won't the Tory returning officer Helen Briggs let go and trust her deputy to supervise the
count for Rutland County Council and Parish Council elections?
Mrs Briggs announced due to past experience she would be delaying the count.
The count will not start until 2pm on Friday 8th May 2015.
Leaving ballot papers hanging around, her excuse was because a 9.00 am start was
too much for her.
The problem is, she is also the deputy returning office for the Melton and Rutland Parliamentary Elections and will be assisting at Melton with that count. At the last election the count finished
around 5 am and she said she needs time to "refresh" for the County and Parish count.
This years Rutland County Council and Parish Council counts will be held at Victoria Hall
and not the usual venue of Rutland County Council.
