It is only right and proper that I be given a chance as a local town councillor to respond to the extraordinary coverage by the County Times of March 6 making reference to the subject of selection of the chairman of Horsham District Council.

It is within the constitution of Horsham District Council and many other district councils across England, that the majority party is tasked with selecting a chairman and vice-chairman of their choice.

The process is carried out in accordance with Conservative Party rules, nominations are proposed and seconded by the group and a democratic vote is taken and adjudicated by a person from outside of the council.
