To address a clerical error while implementing the new car parking charges in April 2025 we have suspended all car parking charges in council owned car parks with immediate effect until 14th June 2025. Payment machines will be covered and no payments should be made in either the parking machines or on the ‘Pay by Phone’ app during this period. All other parking restrictions remain in force.
Details of the new car parking charges, the same as previously advertised, can be seen on the Notice of Variation on signage in the car parks and published in the Melton Times (22nd May 2025).

Emergency proxy votes

In certain circumstances, where you have an emergency that means you can not vote in person, you can apply for an emergency proxy. This must be something that you was not aware of before the normal proxy vote closing date for that election.

You may be able to apply for an emergency proxy vote if:

  • You have a medical emergency
  • You are away for work and will not be able to attend a polling station
  •  Your photo ID is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged

It is not possible to issue an emergency proxy vote when a postal vote has been lost, spoiled or not received.

Emergency proxy applications can be made up to 5pm on polling day.

To apply for an emergency proxy, visit the Electoral Commission website to download the application form or visit the Council's offices to collect a form. 

You may need to provide evidence of the reason you can not vote so should make sure you have this before making an application.  Further details can be found on the forms on the Electoral Commission website.
