A last chance to talk before casting your vote

POLLING Day has arrived and for anybody who still needs reassuring that I am the person to vote for, there will be opportunities throughout the day to come and meet me and have a chat.
The three polling stations in the Blackdown ward are located in the school at Blagdon Hill, the village hall in Churchinford, and the village hall in Bishopswood.
They will be open from 7 am to 10 pm, but the actual counting of the votes does not start until Friday, at 10.30 am in Taunton, so we will not know on the day who has won.
Please remember, that you can still vote even if you do not have your polling card with you.
All you have to do is give your name and address to the council officer on duty in the polling station.
I am going to be out and about for most of Thursday with Chris Robinson, a former councillor for the ward, and the person who has worked most closely with me to ensure I have visited all parts of the ward.
Supporters, and anybody else, will be welcome to come and meet me outside the polling stations at various times.
At present, the plan is to visit Pitminster school between 8 am and 8.30 am, and again from 12 noon to 12.30 pm, and from 5 pm to 5.30 pm.
I should also be outside Churchinford Village Hall at 8.45 am to 9.15 am, again from 12.45 am to 1.15 pm, and from 5.45 pm to 6.15 pm.
And I should be visiting Bishopswood between 9.30 am and 10 am, again between 1.30 pm and 2 pm, and finally from 6.30 pm to 7 pm.
Of course, you never know what might happen on the day, and the anticipated programme may well slip a little bit.
