Hundreds of Cardiff students 'unable to vote'

Around 200 students in Cardiff were left unable to vote yesterday after failing to register correctly.

Cardiff City Council have confirmed that the local authority received 1,000 invalid addresses from residents signing up to vote.

The council managed to contact and register 800 of these residents, but they were unable to contact the remaining 200.

‘We take our electoral duties very seriously and seek to ensure that everyone who is entitled to vote, is able to do so,’ a spokesperson for the council said yesterday.

‘We share the frustration of the students who have been unable to register, but we have to be clear that this situation has not arisen because of a clerical error on the council's part.’

Public Property

This issue of Public Property examines how public sector organisations can unlock the hidden value in their land, and why a new approach to construction could help boost the outcomes of the Government’s One Public Estate programme.

The December issue also considers why learnings from ancient cities could provide the key to promoting wellbeing in the modern built environment. It also contains a case study on how the London Borough of Westminster has provided high quality care for the elderly alongside a block of luxury apartments.
