NP4Yaxham Referendum
4th May 2017

Breckland Council agreed NP4Yaxham to go to referendum on 4th May 2017
​ - the first in Breckland!


The question asked in the Referendum was:
"Do you want Breckland Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Yaxham to help it
decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?"


The Referendum Plan documents are below and can be found at Breckland's website:
​http://www.breckland.gov.uk/article/4284/Neighbourhood-Plans 

Everyone in the Parish of Yaxham who is on the electoral register was able to vote: 
The referendum was on the same day as the County Council elections.  At the polling station (or as a postal voter) you received two ballot papers: one for the County Council election and one for the NP4Yaxham Referendum.  In both cases you needed only to put an "X" in the box that you agree with.  To check whether you were on the electoral roll, postal votes and proxy votes, see:
http://www.breckland.gov.uk/article/4460/Elections-2017
