The Proposals
Proposals for polling districts and polling places for the parliamentary constituency were published by the (Acting) Returning Officer on 16 September 2024.
The proposals are based on the following key considerations:
- The suitability and availability of polling places for use as polling stations
- The accessibility of every polling place to electors who are disabled
- The designation of a polling place is within a reasonable reach of all electors from across a polling district
- Physical barriers such as parks, railway lines and main roads
- To have due regard to the number of electors allocated to a polling station.
You can view the proposals via:
- PDF maps showing proposals for each of the new wards,
- Through our consultation pack
- They can also be viewed in person, by appointment at the council offices.
