It would be helpful to have an additional column showing the number of electors in each ward and polling station.
I have asked the council for this separately.

Dear Croydon Borough Council,

Please add a further column to show the number of electors registered to vote at each polling station.
This follows the anotation recently made to my FOI request.

Please add a further column to show the number of these who are EU citizens.

Yours faithfully,

Kwame Opoku
