Stop using Primary Schools as polling stations.
On 5 May 2016 the local school was used as a polling station. In this small community 15 people turned up to vote versus 74 pupils missing school.
Since 2010 local and general elections have meant that 2 school weeks have been lost at a time when parents are being fined for taking their children out of school. We petition a debate to change voting to postal, online or Saturday options or simply find an alternative venue to closing schools.
