With a turnout of 34.7%, only slightly more than 2014, the Brexit Party took over the two seats previously held by UKIP and won a third from the Tories, who lost both theirs. The LibDems regained the seat they lost in 2014, and Labour held their one seat.
Congratulations to our new MEPs here in the East Midlands Region:

Parwich Community First Responders need your help! Many of you will know we have a volunteer team of Community First Responders and we help people in emergencies by getting to them in advance of the professional ambulance crews, which can save lives. To keep us on top of our game, regular training sessions are important, as the ability to practice CPR is crucial.
We’re trying to raise funds from a scheme run by Calor Gas Ltd, which is based on the number of votes received, to buy a new training mannequin and are competing with other worthy causes to get our share of what’s available.
So, we need to have the most votes to get to the funds.
If you’d like to support our appeal, please can you click through on the link below and add your 10 votes that you’ll be allocated – it’d be a great help and hugely appreciated by the Parwich First Responder team. The deadline is Monday 17th June, so please don’t delay.
https://www.calor.co.uk/shop/communityfund/community-first-responder-training-equipment
If you’d like to know more about what the Parwich First Responders do, or have any questions about the life-saving defribulator located at The Sycamore pub, e.g. how to access it, then please call Martin on 390529, who’d be happy to explain it to you.
