TODAY is polling day in Wychavon District Council elections and Vale residents are being urged to get out and cast their votes.

Polling stations will be open until 9pm tonight and everyone is being encouraged to use their votes.

The council's democratic services manager Amanda de Warr said: "It is vital as many people as possible vote.

"If residents don't take this opportunity to make their voice heard, then there is little point complaining once the elected council is in place."
