Consideration has been given to ensure that polling places are within easy reach of all electors from across the polling district and they are within the polling district unless no accessible polling place can be identified in the district. Comments as a result of the consultation from members of the public, Councillors and Area Committees have been taken into consideration and are reflected in the Returning Officer’s proposals.
