A converted shipping container was turned into a polling station in the car park of SAINSBURY'S in Cambridge.
A variety of unusual venues have been turned into polling stations for today's (Thurs) General Election. Villagers in Carlton,Cambridgeshire, have been voting in a tiny CARAVAN parked outside the Old Rectory. The small caravan pulled-up outside Robin Wylie's house last night and around 100 people are expected to vote there today. Mr Wylie said: "There are only around 140 people in the village. The caravan pulls up outside my house and I provide the electricity." There was also a steady stream of people voting in a caravan in the car park of TESCO supermarket in Fulbourn in Cambridgeshire. Many stopped to do some shopping, whilst casting their vote at the small polling station, which opened at 7am this morning. A converted shipping container was also turned into a polling station in the car park of SAINSBURY'S in Cambridge. Other unusual polling stations in the East of England include Newmarket Football Club, the George and Dragon pub in Snailwell, Cambs and Tapps Garden Centre in Baldock, Hertfordshire.
