RESOLVED: That Council designated the Polling
Districts and Polling Places as per the Returning Officer’s
Proposals attached as Appendix A to the submitted report, effective
as of 1 December 2023.
 

REASONS FOR DECISION:

(1)  
The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 introduced a
change to the timing of compulsory reviews of UK Parliamentary
Polling Districts and Polling Places. The next compulsory review
was required to commence and conclude between 1 October 2023 and 31
January 2025 (inclusive).

(2) 
However, as the Local Government Boundary Commission for England
had implemented new district ward boundary arrangements for
elections in May 2024, the Polling Districts, Polling Places and
Polling Stations needed to reflect these new boundaries in the
Register of Electors published annually on 1 December.
