Assuming election day on 6 May will include both local and nation elections then Heber School and Heber Road will have lots election activities. Not just as a result of Heber School being a Polling Station from 7am-10pm. But also after 10pm it will receive all voting boxes for College, East Dulwich and Village wards. All the votes will be checked that they’re in the correct box and verify the correct number in the box compared to voters who turned up to vote. So lots of activities, mostly in the school hall, from 10pm to circa midnight to 1am.

The Dulwich and West Norwood parliamentary votes will then be shipped to Lambeth for counting.

For local elections votes will be shipped to the Peckham Academy for counting the following day from 1pm.

I’m hopeful that this wont cause any disruption or noise for residents. I’ve asked election officers to write to residents to warn them of this.
