“We are very grateful for the assistance of local businesses, sports clubs and community groups who make their premises available for polling stations. 
“Democracy is something you only miss when it is not there. Taking part in these elections gives you the opportunity to say who will be representing you and taking key decisions on how local services are provided across the borough.
“So, the support of all these venues is really important and means voters across the borough won’t have far to travel to make their voice heard on Thursday 4 May.”
