• The post you are reporting:
   
  Polling times laid down by law unfortunately. Similarly no postal or proxy voting. Polling cards should arrive in the next few days.
  
  There was nothing to stop DHB arranging to requisition a referendum. Or, for that matter, any group of people who wished the port to remain under its existing charter. In fact it is still open to anyone to petition for a town meeting and call a referendum on whether the port should stay as it is or not.
  
  The law also prescribes that the question must be answerable by a yes/no answer. A three-way choice is not allowed.
  
  Whether you agree or not, all such procedures must be conducted according to the rules laid down in the Local Government Act.
