October marks the final stage of the annual electoral register canvass. Our team will be contacting around 2,500 households that have not yet responded to requests to confirm who lives at their address and who is eligible to register to vote.

Until 25 October, authorised canvassers will be visiting these properties. They will:
✅ Carry Uttlesford District Council ID
✅ Wear orange high-visibility clothing
✅ Never enter your home
✅ Not ask for detailed personal information
✅ Encourage residents to complete and return their household response form

If nobody is home, a calling card will be left and a further visit may be made a few days later.

Responding helps ensure the electoral register is accurate and that everyone who is eligible has the opportunity to register to vote.

🌿 Grant success story!

Hadstock Village Hall now has a new insulated oak floor thanks to the dedication of local volunteers and support from a Zero Carbon Communities Grant, which funded the floor insulation.

The result? A warmer, more energy-efficient community space for everyone to enjoy.

"Without the grant funding for insulation, this project would not have been possible."

Could your community project benefit from a Zero Carbon Communities Grant?

Thinking of applying? Join our free online webinar on Wednesday 14 October at 7pm to find out more about the scheme, hear from previously funded projects and get tips on making an application.

Application deadline: Friday 4 December
