At the present time, B&WPC have the guidance of a District Councillor from each Ward who regularly attend the monthly Parish Council Meetings, and it was the majority view of the PC for this most satisfactory arrangement to continue. It is therefore, the recommendation of Bothenhampton & Walditch Parish Council that a District Councillor continues to represent each Ward. Any reduction in this provision will inevitably cause the enablement of democracy to be challenged.
