By law, we have to carry out an annual ‘canvass’ of electors every year, to ensure the electoral register is as complete and accurate as possible. The canvass runs from July to November and the revised electoral register, incorporating the changes made during the canvass, will be published on December 1, 2022. You need to be on the electoral register to vote in elections. Being registered can also improve your credit rating.

Waste from households with Covid-19

The Government advice is that waste from a house with cases of Covid-19 (or suspected Covid-19) should be placed in a bag, which is then sealed, placed inside another bag, which is also sealed, and then stored for 72 hours before being put out for collection.

The public should be able to hold local councils to account about the services they provide. To do this, people need information about what decisions councils are taking, and how they are spending public money.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government asks all local councils and fire and rescue authorities in England to publish spending information over £500 online.
