VOTING takes place in two by elections in the Marlborough area today. The by election for the Ogbournes seat of Kennet District Council resulted from the death earlier this year of long serving councillor Patricia Courtman.

Polling will take place at the Ogbourne St George Village Hall, Mildenhall Village Hall and at the Kennet Valley Hall.

In the town of Marlborough an east ward by election has resulted from the resignation of Conservative councillor George Worby.

East Ward voters only can go to the polling station in the Town Hall.

For both by elections polling will take place between 8am and 9pm.
