If the votes are not received before 10pm on polling day then they won't be counted

Thamesfield ward residents who have requested a postal vote for the forthcoming by-election are being urged to make sure they return it to the town hall as quickly as possible.

Postal votes were sent out earlier than usual in order to give people enough time to return them but residents are being advised not to leave it until the last minute before returning their ballot papers.

The election is being held on Thursday, June 30, so it is important that people act now.
