Mini polling station review
In light of some recent population changes within the borough and the availability of some polling stations, the Council has commenced a mini polling station review. Any changes resulting from this review will come into place for the May 2023 local elections.
Part of the requirements is to consult with key stakeholders for those stations included in the review. The Council would like to invite interested parties, political groups and electors to make any comments on the proposed changes.
Closing date for comments is Friday 26 August 2022.
