An election chief visited a polling station in Lichfield after a complaint was made about political representatives gathered outside.

It came after a group from the Conservatives had gathered at the Chapel Lane voting location yesterday (4th May).

A spokesperson for Lichfield District Council confirmed the Returning Officer had visited the site after the concerns were raised.

> “We received a complaint that candidates were talking to voters on the way into one of the polling stations.  
>  
> “The Returning Officer attended and talked directly with the agents and candidates implicated who assured them that no voter obstruction had taken place and that no rules were broken.  
>  
> “The agents left shortly after the discussion, the situation monitored and no further issues have been noted or complaints received.”
