POLLING station across the district have opened, as Bradford residents cast their vote in this year's local elections.

This year a third of seats on Bradford Council (30) will be up for grabs - one in each ward of the district.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

There are also referendums on the neighbourhood plans for Ilkley and Oxenhope - although only people in those two areas will be voting in those referendum.

Polling stations are open until 10pm tonight.

Vote counting will not begin until tomorrow morning and will be spread out between two sites Sedbergh Leisure Centre, where the votes from Bradford constituencies will be counted, and Keighley Leisure Centre, where votes from Keighley and Shipley will be counted.

The counts start at 9.30am, and the results are expected to start coming through mid-day.

The Telegraph & Argus will be running a live blog of the count, including the full results as they are announced, on our website tomorrow.

The list of winning candidates and a round up of the election will be included in Saturday’s paper.
