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.

Due to sewer repair works by Anglian Water taking place on Willoughby Road in Morcott, North Luffenham Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) will be closed from 24^th June 2024 whilst work is completed.

To allow the work to take place Willoughby Road will be closed and therefore there will be no safe access routes to the HWRC for larger vehicles/HGVs to empty containers. The repair works are due to be completed on Tuesday 2^nd July, following which the site will reopen.

To ensure that residents continue to have access to an HWRC during this time, Rutland County Council will be opening Cottesmore HWRC for 7 days a week (10am – 6pm) until North Luffenham HWRC is reopen.

Please note that Cottesmore HWRC is unable to accept trailers and is extremely busy on Fridays, so please avoid visiting on this day if at all possible
