I think this may be a national thing - our local council are consulting us on whether elections should be every 4 years a vote in an entire new council or 3 out of four, where a third of councillors are elected each year for three out of four.
I think I prefer the four year option, and that certainly sounds to be the Council's preference on the leaflet I have in front of me, but I can see benefits to the other method too.
This is the website engage.wokingham.gov.uk/en-GB/projects/future-election-cycle
I'd be interested to know is anyone else being asked to look at this in their district.
