We have a Chesterfield referendum over Sheffield City Region plan coming up - more voting!
I was told Sheffield has the money (reading the full story in the link below it doesn't back that up! ) - we don't but is it a good idea?
I'm not sure I would vote yes to it!!!
People living in Chesterfield are being urged to take part in a referendum to send out a clear message about whether local residents want to become part of Sheffield City Region and have some key decisions made by a Sheffield City Region Mayor.
The referendum is being staged by Derbyshire County Council which is opposed to Sheffield City Region Combined Authority's proposed expansion into Chesterfield - which would mean powers for key services in the town being handed to a Sheffield City Region Mayor.
More than 5000 people said "No" to the plans in an online poll held by the county council last year.
And now it is holding an official vote to give residents the chance to have their say by answering a simple "yes" or "no" to show whether they support the plans.
Everyone who is over 18, living in Chesterfield and on the electoral roll will receive an official ballot paper delivered to their home address from 21 June 2017.
