PEOPLE across the borough are urged to use their vote in the local election on Thursday May 3.

A total of 193 polling stations will be open from 7am until 10pm at venues across the Dudley borough for voters to elect 24 councillors to represent them on Dudley Council.

Sarah Norman, chief executive and electoral returning officer at the council, said: “This is an important process to make sure people’s views are represented. By voting you give yourself a say on how services at Dudley Council are run and I urge people to take the time to get out and vote.”

Poll cards have been delivered to people who have registered, which need to be handed in when voting.
