Kevin -
(1) You might be unaware that the Representation of the Peoples Acts prohibit any individual holding more than two proxy votes unless they are close relatives.
(2) A voter who has granted a proxy vote may vote in person, provided that the proxy vote has not been used.
I am aware of only two outstanding Cases/Investigations for electorial fraud in England and Wales where chatges have been made.
One in Bristol. One in Surrey. I am happy to say that Labour Party members are not involved.
In my patch Proxy Votes are discouraged, in line with the general recomendations from HQ., unless you are dealing with close relatives, or fellow Party members.
