News
If you wish to consult the Electoral Registers, please contact the department in advance, so material can be made available.

Due to the ongoing internal re-organisation of our resource collections, the Valuation Rolls are currently unavailable for consultation. This is temporary to allow the Valuation Rolls to be moved within Central Library. We apologise for any inconvenience and aim to make them available again at the earliest.
