TOWN COUNCIL ELECTIONS - 29TH JULY 2010

Residents of the south ward of Redruth will go to the polls next Thursday, July 29, to elect a new town councillor. Two candidates, Mary McWilliams representing the Liberal Democrats and Linda Moore from Labour will fight a by-election to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John Hayward.

No poll cards have been sent out in an effort to keep costs down. Any elector living in the Redruth (South) ward can still vote by turning up at their usual polling stations at Trewirgie Junior School Annex, or Carn Brea Village Institute, and those who normally use Gweal-an-top school should now use the Church Vestibule in Redruth Methodist Church.

Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm.
