VOTERS in Penarth are going to the polls to vote for their next Vale of Glamorgan and town and community councillors. 

Polling stations across the town are open until 10pm tonight. 

The Penarth Times has been out and about getting the views of residents as they cast their vote.

Jessica Khoshooee of West Terrace voted at Stanwell  Baptist Church hall. 

She said it's important to vote because it makes a difference to your local area. 

"It is about who runs your services such as libraries," she said.

"I think it'll give a good indication of how the general election will go.

"It is about local democracy and I bring my children along so they can see that democracy."

Pamela Hennessey of Brockhill Rise said people have got to vote. 

"You've got to know what is going on in Penarth," she said.

"Everybody should vote. I've always voted and my kids have since they turned 18. 

"I'll be voting in the general election too."
