POLLING has opened for a local election at Keswick Town Council.

Voters in the Keswick East ward were due to go to the polls along with others across the county to choose their town councillors on May 2.

But voting had to be delayed after the death of candidate Martin Pugmire.

A total of seven seats are up for election.

Voting opened at 7am, and closes at 10pm tonight.
