Hulland Ward Parish Council

18/06/2025

Derbyshire Dales District Council are starting the annual canvass which is a check on the accuracy and completeness of the electoral register.

We will be sending around 36,000 canvass letters to Derbyshire Dales households.

It is anticipated these will start to arrive after 18 July 2025.

If the canvass form the household receives states that a response is required or if the information contained in the letter is incorrect or requires updating they should respond as soon as possible.

Full instructions on how to respond can be found within the form.
If there are new electors in a household their names should be added to any response.

Households should remember to add the names of any 16 or 17 year old’s as they can and should register to vote (but they will not be able to vote until their 18th birthday).

If any households are unsure as to what to do or need any help completing their response they should contact the District Council by calling 01629 761335 or emailing [email protected]

If we do not receive a response to our initial canvass communication we have to send a reminder therefore a response to the initial communication would be appreciated.

Please get in touch if you need more information.

Postal Vote Renewal

Changes brought in by the Elections Act 2022, mean postal votes now expire every 3 years and need to be renewed.

If an elector applied for a postal vote before 31 October 2023, they must renew it by 31 January 2026 to keep voting by post. If they don’t renew it, they will need to vote in person at their polling station.

Due to the volume of postal voters who will need to make a new application by 31 January 2026 we are asking that they do so as soon as possible.

How to renew
Visit the government website (visit www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote
They will need:
• Their national insurance number
• To upload a photo of a handwritten signature in black ink on plain white paper

All electors who are required to make a new application before 31 January 2026 will be sent a paper form later in the year. Electors do not need to contact the elections team to request this.

A copy can be downloaded by visiting https://www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote

Completed forms should be returned to Electoral Services, Derbyshire Dales District Council, Town Hall, Matlock, DE4 3NN or email to [email protected]
Please get in touch if you need more information.

We are sad to report that the children's roundabout on the playing field has been damaged, hopefully a repair will be carried out in the near future. We have also received reports of anti-social behaviour on the playing field. The police have been made aware of the problem and anyone who witnesses such behaviour should report it to Derbyshire Police Tel 101.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Local residents and visitors to the Hulland Ward Playing Fields are reminded of the rule that motor and battery powered bicycles and vehicles are prohibited from accessing the grassy areas of the playing fields.
