Milestones

Given the severe UK terror threat level effective April 30th, we call on the Government to not allow polling stations to be located in schools while children are in attendance.

We believe that doing so allows unvetted individuals access to school facilities and raises significant safety concerns for the children. In our view this situation poses a significant risk to the safety of our children, particularly given the current severe threat of terrorism.
