POLLING stations across Warrington will soon be gearing up for the General Election on June 8 – with local people set to vote in locations as varied as churches and even a pub.
Of the 129 polling stations across the borough – which also include schools and community centres – all will remain the same as for previous elections except for four.
The changes are:
*Poplars and Hulme ward: The polling station will move next door from the Orford Neighbourhood Project to the Poplars Pub, function room.
*Poplars and Hulme ward: The polling station is moving from St Bridgets Primary School to the Hawthorn Centre on Orange Grove, located behind the school.
*Poulton North ward: There will be a change of location from Fearnhead Cross Community Centre to Church of the Resurrection and St Bridget, on St Bridgets Close.
*Stockton Heath ward: The polling station will revert back to Stockton Heath Methodist Church, following a temporary move to The Lighthouse in last year while the church was undergoing repairs.
*Voters attending the polling station at Barrow Hall Primary School should be aware that it has moved to the new site on Sophia Drive which should be accessed Lingley Green Avenue and not Omega.
With a week to go until the election, it has also been confirmed that a record number of Warrington residents have applied to vote by post.
The borough council’s elections team is busy sifting through and opening the 31,482 postal vote applications which were received ahead of the deadline on May 23.
The team has been working long hours to offer General Election advice and support to local people in recent weeks – including working until midnight on voter registration deadline day.
