Agendas

Please find attached documents for the meeting on Wednesday.

There was a delay posting these online but the eagle eyed parishioners will have noticed the agendas were on the noticeboards last week.

Updated Trust Finance

Due to many misunderstandings, it has become clear that the document needed it’s headings updated so the items can accurately reflect where money has been spent.

The figures haven’t changed at all, just the headings, so hopefully will now be easier for everyone to see where the Trust money has been spent. We have added two headings ‘General Admin’ and a section for the ‘Woodland Walk’ in which was previously looped in with the Allotments however, for transparency, it now has its own section.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR POSTAL BALLOT HAS BEEN DELAYED? RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL TO OPEN OFFICES ON SATURDAY FOR URGENT REPLACEMENT POSTAL BALLOTS

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR POSTAL BALLOT HAS BEEN DELAYED

All postal votes for the Rutland and Stamford Constituency were issued to Royal Mail on time in two batches (one batch issued on 20th June for postal voters registered before 4th June, the second batch issued on 24th June for postal voters registered after 4th June).

Royal Mail are handling a large number of postal votes for all constituencies in the general election. As of Friday 28th June, the Council is aware that some postal voters in the Rutland and Stamford area are yet to receive their ballot papers.

If postal ballots are not received from Royal Mail on Monday 1st July, voters can request a replacement ballot by calling Rutland County Council on: 01572 720 954. This can then be collected from the Council’s Catmose offices in Oakham, once processed.

If waiting until Monday 1st July to receive your postal ballot means you will be unable to vote and you have not already done so, please contact the Council urgently before 4.30pm on Friday 28th June by calling: 01572 720 954.

Some Council staff have experienced verbal abuse when trying to assist postal voters affected by these delays. This behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL TO OPEN OFFICES ON SATURDAY FOR URGENT REPLACEMENT POSTAL BALLOTS

In response to further enquiries from Rutland and Stamford residents regarding postal ballots for the UK general election, Rutland County Council is opening its offices in Oakham on Saturday 29th June for postal voters who must have their postal ballot packs before Monday 1st July and are yet to receive them from Royal Mail.

Postal voters who cannot wait until Monday 1st July to receive their ballot packs and wish to collect a replacement ballot from the Council on Saturday should email elections@rutland.gov.uk between now and 12noon on Saturday 29th June, confirming:

  • The voter’s registered address
  • Phone number
  • The name of voters in the household still to receive their postal ballot packs

Anyone who is unable to email the Council can call: 01572 758 469 from 10am on the morning of Saturday 29th June to provide this information. Please reserve this line for those without internet access and do not call if you are able to email.

You must contact Rutland County Council before 12noon so that officers can prepare replacement postal ballots and provide confirmation when it is ready to be collected. Final collection will be 2.00pm, at which point the offices will close until 9.00am on Monday.

Please do not travel to the Council’s offices on Saturday without having made contact first as officers will be unable to assist.

Officers will not be able to resolve any enquiries that are not related to urgent replacement postal ballots.
