Plymouth City Council says it is not commenting ahead of the publication of an independent report into problems it had during the general election.

The Electoral Commission is already investigating. The independent investigation is due to be published in September.

Several people have been given antibiotics after an 18-year-old man became ill with meningitis at Boardmasters Festival.
Public Health England (PHE) said it was investigating a confirmed case of meningococcal disease at the festival in Newquay.
The teenager is a student at St Brendan's Sixth Form College in Bristol, which saw two cases of meningococcal infection last spring.
Image source, Alex Rawson/Boardmasters FestivalMike Wade from PHE said: "It is highly unlikely that this case is related to the previous cases at St Brendan's which occurred 14 months ago. The student has not attended the college since the end of the summer term at the beginning of July."
Administering antibiotics to close contacts is "standard procedure" with confirmed cases of meningitis, PHE added.

A number of Plymouth voters are considering legal action under the Human Rights Act following ballot box chaos at June's general election, the BBC has learned.
More than 1,500 postal ballots weren't sent out, some voters reported being wrongly turned away at polling stations, and thousands of votes were missed out of the result of one constituency.
Labour's Luke Pollard won Plymouth Sutton and Devonport with 23,808 votes. However, the actual figure including the missed votes cast in his favour was 27,283. He would still have won comfortably over Conservative Oliver Colvile.
The Electoral Commission is already investigating. Plymouth City Council says it will not comment until the result of an independent investigation is published in September.
