Register to Vote in Upcoming Local Elections
If you have turned 18, moved house, got married, changed your name, or currently aren’t registered to vote, you need to register to vote before 12th April.
Your vote matters! To change how money is spent, what ideals and actions are pursued, and what Belper and Amber Valley stand for, you have to vote.
If you aren’t happy with road repairs, building plans, or Green Belt deletions, recycling provisions, public toilets, tourism, or how Babington has been handled, or want things like fly tipping, and dog defecation addressed, voting is the way to change how these things are handled. If you like the decisions being made on your behalf, you still need to vote to keep it how you want it.
Current majority:
Belper Town Council and Amber Valley Borough Council both currently have a Conservative majority, which invariably determines the outcome of council voting.
