Voting card for Neighbourhood Plan

Yes – the question is “Do you want West Oxfordshire District Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Charlbury to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”, and you can vote “yes” or “no”.

If you voted in the elections last week, then as Peter says, you’re on the electoral roll and so you can vote in the Neighbourhood Plan referendum – you don’t need a voting card.

WODC have put all the documents up online at https://www.westoxon.gov.uk/charlbury.

Can somebody please tell me what exactly the choice is? Is it a simple yes or no?

We've also not received our Neighbourhood Plan voting card - how do we get one?

My husband didn’t receive one for the local elections and although he complained and they said they would send one out, nothing was received.  We’ve got both one for the Neighbourhood Plan!

Thank you Peter.  This is the first time we have not both got our cards in the same delivery and I strongly suspect it may have been delivered elsewhere.  Our post has become increasingly erratic. Many days we have nothing, and the next day lots.  We strongly suspect that the post is not being delivered every day  - but thats another thread entirely…

Helen: if you are included on the current electoral register within the parish of Charlbury you will be entitled to vote in the Neighbourhood Plan referendum on 10th June whether or not you receive a polling card.  That said you should receive a polling card if you had one for the local elections last Thursday.

There is still a month to go so no need to panic - I haven't received mine yet!  But if you don't receive a polling card within the next week or so, you can always contact Electoral Services at West Oxon DC to check.  Call 01993 861000 or go to https://westoxon.gov.uk/elections

My husband received a voting card in the post  - but I haven’t. As a woman I feel very disenfranchised! Not sure how to get one….
