The big vote

Last Wednesday (2nd April) saw the results of the big vote announced.

The initiative which was flagged up on Glossop.com and various other places including here (in March) is the method used to elect the members of the Derbyshire Youth Council.

As noted previously there were a total of 11 young people from across the High Peak trying for the two local slots with 3 locals from Glossopdale amongst them.

A total of 20,818 valid votes were cast – just over 400 more than in 2006 which made this year’s vote the biggest yet, with Adam Fearns (15), and Laura Jane Roberts (15), from Glossopdale Community College been elected to represent the High Peak.
