Particulars of service of members of the council

Note:

On 25 July 1973 the Blackpool District Council adopted a recommendation of the Policy Steering Committee that the Council should formally recognise the principle of seniority of members based on the length of service. 

For that purpose the Council also adopted a recommendation that service on the Blackpool County Borough Council (including broken service) should be reckoned as service on the Borough Council.
