To consider the recommendations of the Cabinet and a report that sets out the results of a consultation exercise and proposals for a revised polling district and polling station scheme.

The Council considered the recommendations of the Cabinet and the submitted report on a review of polling districts and polling stations for each district, which had been carried out in accordance with the Representations of the People Act 1983.  It was noted there were minimal changes to the existing scheme, and the changes that had been made to existing polling stations were as a result of consultation feedback, availability, or a more suitable location being identified.

Councillor Jacqueline Thomas proposed and Councillor Cowell seconded a motion, which was agreed (unanimously) by the Council as set out below:

1.         that the revised polling district and polling station scheme, as set out at Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be approved;  and

2.         that delegation be given to the Returning Officer to make any amendments to the scheme which may be required to facilitate the running of elections.
