Given the low level of support the elections have garnered, and the
quite unclear role & mandate the council would have over the next 6 - 12
months, I think serious thought should be given to replacing the
election by a referendum on the dissolution of the community council.

If the community council is not dissolved, then the 5 nominated
candidates become the council, as the by-laws state.

Cheers,
Dave.
