We published our draft recommendations in August 1997 and undertook a nine-week period of consultation. We have now prepared our final recommendations in the light of the consultation. We have for the most part confirmed our draft recommendations, with the exception of minor boundary changes between four wards in Bishop’s Stortford, between two wards in Hertford and two ward name changes elsewhere (see paragraph 77). This report sets out our final recommendations for changes to electoral arrangements in East Hertfordshire. We recommend that East Hertfordshire District Council should continue to be served by 50 councillors, representing 30 wards, and that some changes should be made to ward boundaries in order to improve electoral equality, having regard to the statutory criteria. We recommend that the Council should continue to be elected together every four years. I would like to thank members and officers of the District Council and other local people who have contributed to the review. Their co-operation and assistance have been very much appreciated by Commissioners and staff. Yours sincerely PROFESSOR MALCOLM GRANT Chairman LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND v vi LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY The Commission began a review of East ● By 2001 the number of electors per Hertfordshire on 10 December 1996.

  • Polling Places by Ward
    Essential Reference Paper B Polling Places by Ward East Herts Council (Acting) Returning Officer Explanatory Notes: Electorate totals as at 1 December 2018 Predicted electorate from Planning based on the District Plan site allocations with or without planning permission – homes to be built by 2023/4 prior to the next Polling Place Review. Polling Scheme by Wards Ward: Bishop’s Stortford – All Saints PD Ref Polling Place Name/Address Current Electorate Predicted house building CD All Saints JMI School, Parsonage Lane, 2,910 Bishop’s Stortford CM23 5BE – Move to Parsonage Community Centre (CC) CE All Saints Vestry, Stanstead Road, 848 Bishop’s Stortford CM23 2DY CF Thorn Grove Primary School, Thorn 2,238 Grove, Bishop’s Stortford CM23 5LD Total 5,996 50 Proposed Changes: CD - Proposal is to send voters to nearby polling place of the Parsonage Community Centre (polling District CC) – large hall who can accommodate these additional voters plus sufficient parking places. The Parsonage already has CC electors’ one side of the hall and CD would be on the other side – this would be a double polling station due to the electorate size and being a different ward. The proposal will be trialled at the local elections in May 2019 and further feedback will be taken in to account from the electorate, polling staff, visiting officers and candidates on the day. Comments: CF will always be a double polling station due to its electorate size. We have explored alternative polling provision in the area such as at the hospital but continued use at the school is recommended.
