Review of Polling Places
Proposals to reduce the number of schools used as polling places go before Council on next week. Thirteen schools are currently used as polling places which means that they close to pupils on election days. A review has been carried out of parliamentary constituency polling districts and polling places, in advance of the Scottish Parliament Elections that will be held on 5 May 2011.
