Rosie and James catch up with colleagues from the town hall, Julie and Oliver, to chat all things elections.

On Thursday, May 2, we have both Wigan Council and GM Mayoral elections in the borough and Julie and Oliver explain what their roles involve and what everyone needs to know in order to vote.

There’s plenty of key information and dates mentioned, such as register to vote deadlines and an explanation of voter ID.

All this important information and more is available at www.wigan.gov.uk/elections

We’ll be back in May for our next episode, see you then!
