ELECTORS in Lickey, Blackwell and Cofton Hackett are being urged to pay extra attention when arriving to vote at their polling station.

As well as the General Election on December 12, the Referendum for the Lickey, Blackwell and Cofton Hackett Neighbourhood Plan will also be taking place.

Although the polling places for the General Election and the Referendum will be the same, due to electoral legislation, the voting desks will be separate at each venue.

A full list of polling stations are on the Council’s website https://www.bromsgrove.gov.uk/council/elections/current-elections.aspx

Bromsgrove District Council’s returning officer Kevin Dicks said: “We are ensuring that clear signage indicating where residents should cast their vote, whether it’s for the Referendum or the General Election, are in place.

“If in doubt please ask the polling station staff on the day.”
