Changes to polling stations in Brent for the upcoming London mayoral and Greater London Authority (GLA) elections have been confirmed by the council.
Its general purposes committee gave the green light to three new sites across the borough after previously used stations were deemed unsuitable.
Renovations at the Abbey Estate Community Centre, in Alperton ward, mean a temporary building will be set up to manage the elections.
The Carlton Centre, in South Kilburn, is no longer available due to ongoing redevelopment work in the area, so a new polling station will be housed in Brent Hubs Office, in Albert Road.
