As we all know the Government elections take place on the 7th May 2015 in the Community Wing.

What many villagers may not know is that your local North Luffenham Parish Council election is taking place on the same day.

This is a vote to elect the people who will sit on a Parish Council and make decisions about the village: planning applications, the Oval and the local issues that affect us. They represent you and the collective interests of the village.

A North Luffenham Parish Council has not had a contested election for over 20 years due to the fact that there are more people wanting to sit on the Council than there are places available.

Your vote on the 7th May will elect the people or person that you want to represent you.

Over the next few days leading up to the election, the village website will post the manifestos/profiles of candidates that are seeking your vote.
