Dear Denbighshire Council,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply.

I've previously noted Electoral Commission guide lines and noted Qualification 4: living in the local authority.

It was the question of living in the local authority AFTER being elected that I was questioning for statutory requirements by Denbighshire County Council. That I was hoping for documentation on, please.

Yours faithfully,

GARY ALEXANDER BOURNE
