Minutes:

The Cabinet Member Corporate Services introduced the report and explained that the council had a duty to ensure that all electors have such reasonable facilities for voting as practicable and to ensure that the polling stations are accessible to all electors including those with special needs. He explained that a consultation exercise had been completed for Lansdown Ward.

Members supported the proposal of rationalising Polling District HB to Polling District HA as the situation for some electors had been rather anomalous.

RESOLVED (unanimously) that the following changes to polling districts HA and HB be approved :

Move Douro Road, Drakes Place, Lansdown Terrace, Lansdown Terrace Lane, Malvern Place and Malvern Road from Polling District HB to Polling District HA
