VOTING at the polling station on election day to have a say in who represents your town, village or city at county council level is vital to making sure your opinions on local issues are heard.

In Denbighshire, there are 65 polling stations for the 30 electoral wards represented by one or more councillors depending on the size of the electorate. And the polling stations need to be situated in locations that allow all residents to vote, regardless of age, disability or method of transport. However can change depending on, for example, new developments and services or their closure.

Denbighshire County Council (DCC) has launched a review of its polling stations to ensure they are suitable, and it wants to hear your views.

A spokesperson for DCC said: “The council has a statutory duty to designate a polling place for each district. It also has a statutory duty to keep these arrangements under review.

“Our aim in this review is to ensure the network of polling districts and polling places are as convenient and effective for voting purposes as possible. We have found the location and facilities provided by the districts and network of stations we have are well-received by the electorate with very few complaints about accessibility or location.

“However, circumstances can change and the public consultation invites comments on a number of potential changes.”

The consultation closes on August 9.
