Really proud of the The Witham Hub Youth Group who today made their first blanket using crisp packets using the Crisp Packet Project method

These are going to be distributed to our local homeless support group, 24/7 defibrillator cabinets and offered to local businesses on the high street to keep in case they have abyone who becomes unwell and needs to be kept warm

They had great fun doing this so if your child fancies getting involved contact the Hub for more information 💚

Local elections are taking place tomorrow (4 May). If you’re planning to visit a polling station to vote, don’t forget to bring photo ID with you. 🗳

If your photo ID is lost, stolen or damaged, or you are away for work or have a medical emergency and cannot vote in person, you can apply for an emergency proxy (someone voting at a polling station on your behalf) up to 5pm on polling day (Thursday 4 May). All you need to do is download and fill in the application form on our website: www.braintree.gov.uk/elections and send back to our Elections team by emailing [email protected] or drop off in person at our offices at Causeway House, Braintree.

We are aware that some residents, who have applied for a postal vote, have reported they have not received their postal voting packs via Royal Mail. The Council have worked with the Royal Mail Elections Team over the past few weeks and have received assurances from Royal Mail that they would be able to deliver all packs within the required timescales.

As at today’s date we have received 65% of postal votes that were issued, which is in line with the average we normally receive for local elections at this point in time. We have continued to support postal voters, and we have issued replacement packs to anyone that has contacted us directly and hasn’t received their postal vote pack.

These postal delays are unfortunately beyond our control, however if you applied for a postal vote and have not yet received your pack, you can still vote through one of the following ways:

⚪️ Please contact our elections team by emailing [email protected] or calling 01376 552525 and we’ll be able to provide you with a replacement postal pack. You can also come to our offices at Causeway House, Braintree to collect it in person up until 5pm tomorrow(Thursday 4 May).

⚪️ If you have not yet sent back your completed postal vote, this can be handed in at any polling station within the district before polls close on Thursday 4 May at 10pm or at our offices at Causeway House, Bocking End, Braintree. You can find your nearest polling station via our website here: https://www.braintree.gov.uk/voting-elections/find-polling-station

We understand the postal voting pack delays is a national issue elsewhere across the country and we will be reporting this to the Electoral Commission as part of the review for this year’s elections.
