Check your voter details ahead of next year’s elections!

Daventry DC is sending the forms to every household in the district as part of its annual individual voter registration canvass.

Residents are being urged to look out for letters dropping onto doormats reminding them to check their voter details are up-to-date.

Failure to respond could mean a person won’t appear on the Electoral Register, which means they will also not be able to cast their vote in upcoming elections and referendums.

 If residents don’t need to make any changes to the information on the form sent to them, they can confirm their existing registration by using one of the following options:

·         Visit www.householdresponse.com/Daventry

·         Call 0800 197 9871 – you may be charged by your mobile provider for this service

·         Text 80212 quoting ‘NOCHANGE’ – you may be charged by your mobile provider for this service.

 Those who do have to make changes or add anyone onto the register can do so by either visiting www.householdresponse.com/Daventry or completing the inside of the form provided and sending back in the business reply envelope.

Residents who don’t receive their form can register online atwww.gov.uk/register-to-vote, or contact the elections team at Daventry District Council on 01327 871100.

Commissioning 0-19 Public Health Consultation by Northamptonshire County Council.  NCC is responsible for making sure that all children (aged 0-19) are safe, as healthy as they can, and that any health or development problems are identified as early as possible and the right treatment and care offered.

This includes offering every pregnant mother wellbeing assessments during the third trimester of pregnancy and after the birth of a child, providing support for breast feeding, health assessments and development checks at key points in every child’s life, and advice support and information to help all families support their children to grow up happy, healthy and achieving their full potential.

This service is currently delivered by the 0-19 Public Health Nursing Service, which is made up of Health Visitors and School Nurses (these are registered nurses who have additional public health qualifications depending on whether they work with families and young children 0-4 or with young people aged 5-19), specialist breast feeding nurses and nurses who have been specially trained to deliver support to teenage parents. The nursing teams are supported by nursery nurses and other support staff and liaise closely with family doctors, hospital A and E departments, Children’s Centres and social care staff.
