Welcome to the Knapton Parish website
4th May 2023 – Parish Council and District Council Elections
The last election of parish and district councillors was in 2019 and on May 4th we all get the chance to vote on who we want to represent us at our Parish Council and District Council for the next four years.
This is not a General election, which is due next year, so the UK Government will remain in office whatever the outcome, but it is a chance for you to vote for who you feel will best represent your views and fight your corner on the local issues that affect us all.
Polling will be held in our Village Hall, which will be confirmed on your Poll Card.
These will be the first elections where voter identification will be required to be shown by all voters at a polling station. This has been introduced under the Elections Act 2022.
- electors must show an approved form of photo identity before voting in a polling station, the ID does not have to be valid provided the likeness is still true
- anyone without suitable photo identification, such as a passport, driving licence or national bus pass, will be able to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate (VAC)
Perched 43m above sea level on a hill with views of the sea, bordered by farm fields and long established woodland, criss-crossed by Quiet Lanes and well trodden footpaths, basking in the fresh sea air from the North Norfolk coast, Knapton is a little piece of heaven tucked away in a designated area of outstanding beauty.
gnated area of outstanding beauty.
We’re just three miles from the market town of North Walsham with it’s railway and shops, eight miles from the seaside resort of Cromer, with it’s pier and theatre and twenty miles from Norwich.
And our sleepy little village is just a mile or two from the gorgeous sandy beaches at Mundesley, Trimingham, Overstrand, Bacton and Walcott…
The tall proud cliffs add to the stunning views for walkers and beach combers alike.
But to stay safe, everyone should respect the cliffs and not try to climb them as this part of the coast has recently experienced some dramatic cliff slides
We are surrounded by beautiful, country Quiet Lanes weaving their way through our parish…
