Use of council facilities and resources
The Council must ensure legal compliance and consistency, regarding the use of Council resources and facilities. To ensure this, all requests for use of premises from likely election candidates, their agents, political personalities or political parties shall be referred to the designated Single Point of Contact (SPOC):
Shelley Williams, Electoral Services Manager, CAElectoralServices@carmarthenshire.gov.uk
No use should be agreed without prior approval from the SPOC, who will keep a record of such requests received and the decision taken.
A decision on such requests shall be made by the SPOC in accordance with the principles set out in this guidance. The SPOC shall notify the requester of the decision, having sought advice from the Chief Executive (as Constituency Returning Officer) if appropriate. Where the position remains unclear, the advice of the Monitoring Officer shall be sought.
