If you've tried to visit the London Elects website today to check where you polling station is or similar, you will probably have found the site is down.


It's been down for the best part of the day. (Lots of money spent on advertising/posters, little on web infrastructure, it seems.)


If you want to check where you need to go, our (Open Rights Group) wiki page may help you. This page lists all polling stations in Southwark (building and street, and postcode where it's been provided to us).

There's also one for Lambeth:

and so on.


These are the pages we're using ourselves for planning, as we clearly can't use the London Elects ones!


Happy voting tomorrow!

Correction: the LE home page is not down, but if you try and find anything out (your polling station, info about voting in Southwark etc.), you just get a 404 page (and before that you got a fairly horrific error page). They seem to have a database problem. Still a problem at the moment (6.30pm)

It's 7.53pm the day before the election, and the London Elects 'find your polling station' website facility is still down, as is the 'elections in my area' facility. Apparently London Elects is only able to function via mobile phone texting right now.


Here's a complete list on the Web of polling stations by London borough, on the Open Rights Group website:

I didn't get a polling card (ED Royal Mail being funny again?) whereas I did receive all the other election related post... so it's good to know where the polling stations are. By the way... can I vote without a polling card? I do have id and proof of address with me and plan to go after work....

    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
