The views of people who have particular expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for people who have disabilities will also be sought.  Anyone eligible to vote in the North Warwickshire constituency can submit their views.  People or organisations making representations should, if possible, suggest alternative places that may be used as polling stations.
