Voting should be moved online if there is no suitable venue. Losing another day of education is unacceptable at this time

I'm surprised that using the school was even an option considering the amount of schooling the children have missed in the past 12 months!
Why is it always Oaklands? There must be other options available.

This is ludicrous. They have missed too much already, there are several locations that could be used, including Pinewood.

Another day off school is detrimental to our children. It is unfair
Either an alternative school or the community centre should be used

This has been an ongoing issue but now of all times it is clear that an alternative venue must be found for a local polling station. Attendance at school must be prioritised.

There are so many more locations which could be used. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Postal voting leaves no reason why the same geographical location should be used every year!

Surely kids have missed enough schooling! Find a youth club, church hall etc there are loads of unused buildings currently. Shocking!

There must be other local halls which could be used . Children should not miss another whole day of valuable learning for voting . Come on council . Think !!!!

More effort should be made to eliminate the use of schools for poling stations on a permanent basis. This is very disruptive for children and their families. At present it is particularly bad because of all the time lost to covid.

Alternative arrangements should be made to ensure children can get as much time in school as possible given how much time they have lost through Covid.

The children have missed far too much already! Surely there must be a church hall or sports centre somewhere that could be used instead
Please don’t!
