Why not use the Pinewood site? There is plenty of parking there (there is no parking at Oaklands) and it will not disrupt the Oaklands pupils education once again. Why is it ALWAYS Oaklands?!

Please find alternative site as a polling station. It's important to keep our children's education not distracted in the next term.

Schools have been closed long enough. Other suitable premises must be made available as an alternative.

The children of Oakland’s school have missed enough school and closing the school for a polling station is yet another day missed. Please choose another venue.

It was annoying before I had kids, disruptive for me and them when they were in school , different schools so different closures and still annoying me now. Why disrupt education when we have alternatives. Even a tent is better than a school.

I have just presented the petition in full at Wokingham Borough Council’s main Council meeting and spoken in favour of it. But keep signing, as I will send it in to them (as we are meeting virtually at the moment!) tomorrow. Pauline Helliar-Symons, Borough councillor for Wokingham Without.

Ridiculous that schools need to be used when there are plenty of other venues

For years I've thought that it is inappropriate to use schools for elections. This year even more so. I don't have children at Oaklands anymore. But Oaklands is my polling station. I'd happily go elsewhere to vote, or even request a postal vote, if it means the children are able to go to school that day.
