We looked for comments on any aspect of the allocated polling area or polling station used, and invited any representations from anyone who is interested.
Who we wanted to hear from
- Local political parties, District & County Councillors and parish councils;
- Residents;
- Anyone who has particular expertise in access to premises or facilities for people with disabilities, and;
- Local community groups.
Any elector in our area can make representation, which may include proposals for specified alternative polling places.
District, ward & parish boundaries
This review will not include any changes to District ward, Parish or Parish ward boundaries, only polling districts within parishes and issues around polling places and stations.
