Members of the public may question the presenter for up to 5 minutes each. Independent scrutineers will be identified to oversee the voting process.Voting will be taken on individual projects i.e. not a "bundle or grouping of projects". Take a vote using pre-printed ballot papers to establish the successful project(s). Those entitled to vote will be registered voters resident within the boundaries of the relevant village. Voting will be on an order of preference basis. The results will be announced at the end of the meeting.
