You should read the candidates’ statements prior to voting.
Members should have been sent details on voting via email, which opened on Monday 28th July 2025 and closes at 23:59 BST on Friday 22nd August 2025. The election is overseen by two independent scrutineers (Jonathan Cooper and Simon Hettrick).
