No-where does it state in the constitution that there can be only 1 vote per household. So why do the TLERA Committee state on the SGM invite that only 1 vote per household is allowed? They've invented this!


We have the term “member” who in a number of places is clearly referred to as an individual:
No member shall have the power to vote at any meeting of the Society if his or her subscription is in arrears at the time. Junior members shall be those aged less than 18 years at the time their subscription is due; and they shall not be entitled to vote at any meeting of the Society.


Corporate members are allowed, not stated as needing to be based or originating in the defined area of TLE, and are allowed to vote at all meetings:
Corporate members shall be such societies, associations, educational institutions or businesses as are interested in actively furthering the purposes of the Society. A corporate member shall appoint a representative to vote on its behalf at all meetings but before such representative exercises his or her right to vote the corporate member shall give particulars in writing to the Honorary Secretary of such representative.


More support for more than 1 MEMBER per household:
Membership You are invited to become a member of TLERA. A single annual subscription of £5 per household is charged, regardless of the number of adults in the household. As a member, you will be represented on a day to day basis by your Road Representative and by a Committee elected at the Annual General Meeting. You will be kept in touch with what is happening on and around the Estate, through newsletters, social events and leaflets. Renewal envelopes have now been distributed to every household, please return them to your road representative. If you've lost the original, any with your name and address will do.


A household defined as one or more members….
4. SUBSCRIPTIONS
The subscription shall be:-
For each Household of one or more full members per annum £3.00

i.e. Each household contains 1 or more MEMBERS.


And this states MEMBERS not HOUSEHOLDS:
Special General Meetings of the Society shall be held at the written request of fifteen or more members whose subscriptions are fully paid-up.
