Polling station changed at short notice

The council said it is writing to those affected to advise of the change of polling station

Residents of a Devon village have been advised of a change of polling station ahead of the local elections on Thursday.

Due to "unforeseen circumstances", voters who were due to attend the polling station at The Ebrington Arms in Knowle are now asked to vote at The Church Hall on East Street in Braunton.

North Devon Council said it was writing to those affected to advise of the change.

Residents attending all polling stations have been reminded of the need to show photo ID if they intend to vote.

Deputy returning officer at the council, Ken Miles, said: "We understand that this change of polling station is likely to cause inconvenience, and we sincerely apologise for any disruption caused as a result of these unforeseen circumstances."
