A letter has gone out to everyone in the city as the registration for voting is to be done on an individual basis and not per household.

Council electoral officers will be on the car park of the College on Herschell Street from 11am to 4pm on Friday.

The roadshow runs from 11am to 4pm on Friday 29 August.
