Petition Stop using schools as polling stations

More details

Why are we using schools for polling stations when there are plenty of other venues that could be utilised, such as church halls and community centres.

We as parents are now facing being fined for taking our children out of school in term time but using the school as a polling station is seen as ok by the Government.
