Community trusts: Conversion of licensing trust to community trust
355Poll on resolution
Electors of the licensing trust may, by notice in writing, request the trust to hold a poll on a resolution passed under section 351.
The trust must hold a poll on the resolution, in accordance with regulations made under this Act, if—
- 15% or more of the electors request a poll on the resolution; and
- the trust receives the required number of requests within 40 working days after public notice of the resolution is given.
The trust—
- does not have to hold a poll if the resolution has been revoked under section 354(2):
- must hold a poll even though the resolution has been confirmed under section 354(2):
- does not have to hold a poll if, within 12 months before receiving a request for a poll, the trust held a poll under section 356.
If on the poll the majority of electors who vote are in favour of the resolution, then the trust must be converted to a community trust.
If on the poll the majority of electors who vote are not in favour of the resolution, the trust must not pass another resolution under section 351 within 12 months after the date of the poll.
