Dont lose your vote

A giant ballot cross will be in Havering this week as part of a London wide campaign to encourage residents to join the electoral register.

Mark, an unmissable pink X-shaped figure, will be in the borough to raise awareness of the election for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly which takes place on 1 May. His simple message is register to vote by 16 April if you want to make your mark on the next four years.

Staff will be on hand to provide residents with key information. He will be in Romford Market on Saturday 15 March at 3pm.
