Minutes:
The
Democratic and Electoral Services Manager introduced the report and
outlined the changes to boundaries following the polling district
and polling place review and public consultation, as set out in the
revised polling district table as part of the urgent update. This
also included an extra recommendation for officer delegated
authority to make further minor changes. The proposals for
Thurnham electors were highlighted as
the main change arising from the consultation. In addition the
creation of smaller, temporary polling districts to accommodate
pre-May 2024 register requests was brought to the Committee’s
attention.
With the impending deadline of register publication on 1 December,
it was highlighted that minor changes, such as small shifts to
polling districts or changes to codes might be required and
delegation to officers was requested to make sure accurate
information could be presented to Council on 29 November
2023.
The
Committee were informed that changes to the Parish Election Cycle
and minor alignments of Ward boundaries to Parish boundaries from
by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE)
needed to be completed too, the latter might not be in place until
March 2024.
In response to questions it was confirmed that there would be an
additional polling place in Staplehurst so that three polling
stations could be located there. One
place to the West of the main road and one to the East that would
host two polling stations as it did currently.
RESOLVED: That
1.
The Council be recommended to agree the outcome of
the Polling Districts and Polling Places Review 2023 set out at
Amended Appendix 1 to the report; and
2. The Democratic and Electoral Services Manager be given delegated authority to make minor changes to Polling Districts in Amended Appendix 1 to the report before the Council Meeting on 29 November 2023.
