Well, when I say, “Greenwich goes to vote” – I mean, “some of Greenwich goes to vote” and not too many at that if what I saw earlier on is representative of anything. On the day of elections to the European parliament, I took a tour around some of the polling stations in Greenwich and voters seemed very thin on the ground.
I spoke to the presiding officer at the Randall Place polling station and he said voting had been slow but steady. I was hoping to get a picture of a voter coming out but it just me and him there.
Round the corner at the Jubilee Hall polling station in Blisset Street, I met Sam who was a lone volunteer from Labour outside the station and he looked quite happy to see another human being (Say “Hi” if you see this, Sam!)
Polling stations opened at 7am this morning and will remain open until 10pm this evening. Go to the Council website for information on the candidates and the polling stations.
