2. GB includes parts of Woodford Green and the polling station is Oak Hill Primary School, Alders Avenue.

 3. GC is the parts of Highams Park in our ward that are “on the other side” of the railway – e.g. Winchester Road, Larkshall Road, etc. The polling station is Selwyn Primary School, Cavendish Road/Selwyn Ave.
