The Vale of Glamorgan Council has released a post online assuring residents that extensive planning work has been undertaken to ensure that polling stations for the upcoming elections are safe spaces in regards to the potential transmission of the coronavirus.
Though numbers suggest that we are currently making good progress in the effort to remove the menace of Covid-19 from our lives, it remains important that all precautions are taken to ensure minimal risk of potential transmission of the virus and therefore, the Vale Council has introduced new measures at the polling booth.
