Two local elections are scheduled to take place on Thursday 6th May, including those postponed in May 2020.
One is for our local Suffolk County Council councillor for the Hoxne & Eye Division (currently Guy McGregor) the other is for Suffolk Police & Crime Commissioner (currently Tim Passmore).
Redlingfield residents can vote in person at the local polling station, which is in Horham at Horham Old School, The Street, Horham, IP21 5DX (next door to St Mary's church). The Polling station opens at 7am and will close at 10pm.

So don't forget to vote!
Some people in Redlingfield have received Poll Cards telling them to go to Occold Village Hall to vote. These have been issued in error and people will shortly be receiving their new Poll Cards telling them to go to Horham Old School to vote (which is the correct Polling Station for Redlingfield residents).
Horham Old School is the correct Polling Station for residents of Athelington, Horham and Redlingfield Parishes. Occold Parish residents and Eye Parish residents have their Polling Stations in Occold and Eye respectively. Occold Parish residents are in a different Suffolk County Council Division called Upper Gipping and will be choosing their new County Councillor from a different list of candidates.
