Decision:
RECOMMENDED: That the Polling District and Polling Place Review Schedule attached to the report be adopted.
Reason for Decision
To ensure that the Council meets its statutory obligations.
Minutes:
Councillor Long presented a report which reminded Members of the Council's duty to undertake a review of the polling districts and polling places in respect of Parliamentary electoral areas that fall within the boundaries of the Borough. The review was last conducted in 2013 and needed to be concluded again by January 2020. However in the meantime the Local Government Boundary Commission for England had published new electoral arrangements for the Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk, which required an interim review to be undertaken ahead of the May 2019 elections. It was the Returning Officer’s responsibility to keep polling stations under review.
Comments had been received as shown with the report, with an amendment proposed for approval with a further review of the other station in the future.
RECOMMENDED: The Polling District and Polling Place Review Schedule attached to the report be adopted.
Reason for Decision
To ensure that the Council meets its statutory obligations.
