RESIDENTS and businesses have one week left to have a say on whether the frequency of council elections should change.
Thurrock Council will soon decide whether to change how often elections to the authority are held in the borough.
Currently, councillors are elected one third at a time over a four year cycle – with no council elections in the fourth year.
Alternatively, all councillors could be elected at the same time once every four years.
Those who would like to respond to the consultation before it closes next Friday should go to thurrock.gov.uk/mysayelections.
