RESIDENTS intending to vote at their local polling station are being urged to double-check if their usual location has changed this year as a result of a recent ward boundary review in Reading.

The boundary review means that the numbers of councillors is going up from 46 to 48, and two new wards have been created

People can very quickly check their local polling station at https://wheredoivote.co.uk/ or by taking a look at the polling card sent to them by the Council.

You do not need your polling card to vote.

There are a total of eight new polling stations in Reading this year, which span seven wards.

Residents who live in these wards are asked to check online or on their polling card if the new polling stations apply to them.

Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm today (Thursday, May 5).
