Issue - meetings

To seek approval of changes to some polling stations in advance of the elections on 4 May 2017.

Council received a report which proposed polling station changes for the forthcoming elections. During discussion, the following points were raised:

·         Change from Heathfield School to Heath Lane Academy: clarification was requested on how safeguarding would be managed with the school being open on polling day, and the access arrangements to the school were queried

·         Change from Dove Bank Primary School to Nailstone All Saints Church: the ward councillor supported this but expressed concern that he had been informed of the change by the parish clerk and not by officers.

It was agreed that members would be provided with a response to these outside of the meeting.

It was moved by Councillor Hall, seconded by Councillor Surtees and

RESOLVED – the polling station changes be approved.
