Issue - meetings

The Head of Democratic Services submitted a report, which sought approval for the proposed changes and to agree a further investigation into the possible movement of a number of Polling Station venues.

He corrected a few errors within the report and asked that the information printed in relation to the following Electoral Divisions be amended to read:

Penllergaer Electoral Division

Polling Station(s): Proposed change to Llewellyn Hall from Old School Village Hall.

Sketty Electoral Division

Representation Received: No change.

Uplands Electoral Division

Representation Received: See Appendix 2 of the report.

He stated that since writing the report, the European Parliamentary Elections had been called and this led to Hill Chapel School Room, North Hill Road within the Castle Electoral Division being deemed unsuitable.  As such, he liaised with the Castle Electoral Ward Members and agreed to use Elim Chapel School Room instead.

Resolved that:

1)              The responses received in relation to the Polling Districts and Polling Places Review summarised at Appendix 2 of the report be noted;

2)              The final proposals to the Polling Districts and Polling Places as amended and outlined at Appendix 1 of the report be noted subject to the use of Elim Chapel School Room instead of the Hill Chapel School Room be approved;

3)              The Returning Officer continue to monitor Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations where no suitable alternative venue is available at the present time.
