Counting on you!

Chris Johnson — early voter

VOTERS took to the polls today in the local elections.

Among the first to put their cross where it counts was Chris Johnson (pictured), who cast his vote at St Matthew’s Infant School in Chadderton.

A third of the council’s 60 seats are up for grabs, giving residents a chance to vote for councillors who will serve for the next four years. The count begins at the civic centre at 10pm.
