Elections take place today for the newly formed parish councils across Swindon.
Voters in the newly formed parishes of Central Swindon South, Central Swindon North, West Swindon, Eldene, Nythe and Liden will appoint parish councillors for the first time.
Those living in areas that are already represented by parish councils will not need to vote.
A total of 155 candidates have thrown their hat in the ring for election, with 55 Labour, 16 Liberal Democrat, 43 Conservative, four UKIP, three Green and 34 independents.
The polls will be open from 7am until 10pm. The count will take place at the Oasis Leisure Centre.
