This is expected before 27 January. The Returning Officer also recommends merging polling districts BA and BB to facilitate management of the polling station Note re BA and BB above. Should permission to use St Peter’s Church Hall not be forthcoming, the Returning Officer would recommend relocating to the second suggested location – Maple Medical Pupil Referral Unit, Cedar Road, Doncaster DN4 9HS.
