Your Councillors READING BOROUGH COUNCIL REPORT BY RETURNING OFFICER TO: COUNCIL DATE: 29 JANUARY 2008 AGENDA ITEM: 11 TITLE: REVIEW OF POLLING DISTRICTS AND POLLING PLACES LEAD CLLR LOVELOCK PORTFOLIO: CORPORATE SERVICES COUNCILLOR: SERVICE: ELECTORAL WARDS: BOROUGH-WIDE ADMINISTRATION LEAD OFFICER: JOHN PAINTER TEL: 0118 939 0797 / 2797 JOB TITLE: HEAD OF CEMTRAL E-MAIL: [email protected] ADMINISTRATION 1. PURPOSE AND SUMMARY OF REPORT 1.1 Further to Minute 30 of the Council meeting on 16 October 2007, this report confirms the outcome of the review of polling districts and polling places within the Reading East and Reading West parliamentary constituencies within the Borough, undertaken under Section 16 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 (the Act). The schedule of polling districts and polling places now in use is attached at Appendix A. 2. RECOMMENDED ACTION 2.1 That the schedule of polling districts and polling places attached at Appendix A be received. 3. POLICY CONTEXT 3.1 The Electoral Administration Act 2006 required local authorities in England to review their polling places and polling districts within their existing parliamentary constituencies, by the end of 2007. The review of polling districts and polling places had to take place within the existing constituency and ward boundaries. The public notice of the review was published on 18 July 2007, with a deadline for responses of 7 September 2007. 3.2 The CCEA Scrutiny Panel, on 11 July 2007, endorsed the establishment of a cross-party working group to support me in undertaking the 2007 review. This was comprised of Councillors Byrne, Green, Hanley, Lovelock, Page, Waite and Willis (or nominees). The Working Party met twice, and at its meeting on 13 September 2007 agreed recommendations which it submitted to full Council on 16 October 2007. Full Council agreed the changes to polling districts and places as summarised below, and authorised me to take the necessary action to implement them. (1) Sub-divide the Caversham MA polling district, with a new polling station at Caversham Primary School (for new Caversham MC district) (2) Sub-divide the Redlands RB polling district, with a new polling place for the northern part of the polling district (for new Redlands RC district) (3) Move the middle numbers along Elgar Road/Tippett Rise/Waterloo Road from Katesgrove BA to Katesgrove B polling district (4) Move the houses and closes off Hemdean Road from Thames W into Thames WA district, so that all properties off Hemdean Road north of Oakley Road will poll at St Andrew’s Hall, Albert Road and not Highdown School (5) Move the polling place for Whitley SC polling district from South Reading Youth and Community Centre to Whitley Park Infant School, and the SC polling district to be merged with the Whitley S polling district, polling at Whitley Park Infants’ School, at the time of the next general election 3.3 The resultant schedule of polling districts and places is attached at Appendix A. 4. CONTRIBUTION TO STRATEGIC AIMS 4.1 The electoral registration process, and elections, support the promotion of the participation of Reading people in local democracy. 6. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND INFORMATION 5.1 The process followed for publishing the notice and inviting comments was explained in the report to full Council on 16 October 2007. 6. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS 6.1 The provisions of the Representation of the People Act 1983 require that every Parliamentary Constituency must be divided into polling districts and that each District Council must divide its area into polling districts for that part of the Constituency within its area. Reading falls within the area of two Parliamentary Constituencies – Reading East and Reading West. 6.2 In exercising its powers, the Council is required to give all electors “such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances”. In addition, in choosing polling places, only places which are accessible to electors who are disabled must be chosen so far as is reasonably and practicable. 6.3 Unless there are special circumstances, the polling place for any polling district should be located in the district itself. 6.4 A polling place is usually the building to which people go to vote and polling stations are the locations within the building at which electors obtain their voting papers. 6.5 The Returning Officer is required to provide a sufficient number of polling stations in each polling place and to allocate electors to the polling stations in such manner as he or she thinks most convenient. Since the 2003 review there has been a significant increase in the number of postal voters, who now make up 11% of the electorate, and 25% of the turnout in last May’s local elections. However, in the local elections in May 2007, the number of voters in person increased by 1,631, from 25,393 to 27,024. 7. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 7.1 The 2007/08 budget for electoral registration is £249k, and the budget for elections is £75k: neither included any provision for this review. 8.

    Peppard Ward Independent News Putting People First! Why Independent? Cllr Mark Ralph responds: “When I was first asked to stand for election as a Conservative Councillor in 2004, I did so on the basis that I would not compromise my personal principles.” “Jamie Chowdhary’s deselection and the subsequent vendetta against him by those within Reading East Conservative Association was a disgrace. In-fighting and internal politics were already impeding Conservative Councillors’ ability to serve their residents and the behaviour of the Association’s leadership towards Jamie was such that it was no longer an organisation that I wished to belong to.” Other Conservative Councillors left the Association too but have since crept back, no doubt hoping that no one will notice! Mark says: “As a Ward Councillor, I have always followed the principle of ‘People First, Politics Second’ and in addition to people’s day to day concerns, I am now freer to focus on those things that my residents tell me matter most: quality services, safer communities, support for older residents and vulnerable children, protection of the environment, good schools, more school places, and better value for money for the Council Taxpayer.” Thank You! To all those that voted for “Following Jamie’s experience, I fully expect Jamie Chowdhary in the 2012 Cllr Willis and his colleagues within the elections, thank you. Reading East Conservative Association to We were overwhelmed by the conduct a very unpleasant campaign leading number of people that came up to the 2014 elections. forward to support him and on the day, he took just under I hope that people will see this for what it is 800 votes – unprecedented for and judge me on my many achievements for an Independent but, sadly the residents of Peppard Ward.” insufficient for him to retain his position as a Councillor Councillor Mark Ralph T: 0118 948 1615 E: [email protected] Twitter: @Councillor1UK Website: www.PeppardWard.com Promoted by Jamie Chowdhary, on behalf of the Peppard Independents Organisation of, 16c Upton Road, Reading, RG30 4BJ.

It is an area of private and mostly up-market housing, running north from the Thames into the foothills of the Chilterns along the Woodcote Road, Kidmore Road and Hemdean Road. Mapledurham ward comprises, in the south, Caversham Heights; and to the north that part of Mapledurham parish which transferred to Reading Borough from Oxfordshire in 1977. Mapledurham village is still in South Oxfordshire, some miles away. The Working Party has proposed moving Thames WB into ward C, to achieve electoral equality. This area had previously been in Caversham ward, and was moved into Thames by the 2001/02 review. The Working Party has also proposed transferring the NW part of Peppard V into ward A. These are the roads in a triangle formed by Surley Row, St Barnabas Road and Evesham Road, and Rotherfield Way, to east of Highdown School and on the eastern side of the Hemdean valley..

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Caversham (August 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Economic Hist. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Caversham Economic History Until the mid 19th century Caversham’s economy was based on mixed farming, woodland exploitation, and milling and other rural crafts, with neighbouring Reading providing a ready market from the Middle Ages onwards. From c.1850, as Reading expanded following the arrival of the railway, Caversham’s southern part developed larger-scale manufacturing, retail, and service businesses, as well as becoming a dormitory for working- and middle- class incomers employed in Reading itself. By 1908 such people made up around half of the parish’s total population. Industry declined in the mid 20th century, although a moderately successful retail and service sector continued in the early 21st. The Agricultural Landscape Like its neighbours the parish extended from the Thames into the Chiltern foothills, giving access to a typical mixture of meadows, open-field arable, closes, and coppice woods. Meadowland was concentrated on low-lying ground close to the river, while the main open fields, well established by the late 12th century1 and enclosed in the 1830s, surrounded Caversham and Lower Caversham immediately to the north.2 Amongst the larger fields were Hemdean, Balmer and West field, with Borough and Grove fields further east.3 The field name ‘Breach’ suggests medieval expansion of cultivation in the far south-east, although from c.1200 expansion north of there was restricted by the presence of a deer park.4 The somewhat less fertile central and northern parts of the parish were characterized by early enclosure,5 though still intermixed, in the 16th century, with numerous mainly small open fields, of which all except Lye field were enclosed before 1834.6 Medieval and later woodland was concentrated in the north and east, though much clearance had taken place by the 18th century.

    VCH Oxfordshire • Texts in Progress • Caversham (August 2019) • © VCH Oxfordshire • Social Hist. • p. 1 VCH Oxfordshire Texts in Progress Caversham Social History Social Character and Communal Life Caversham’s population was long split between the main settlements of Caversham and Lower Caversham in the south (which had ready access to the trading and social opportunities offered by neighbouring Reading), and the small scattered hamlets and farmsteads of the parish’s central and northern parts. Manor houses in the south-east (latterly in Caversham Park) were intermittently occupied by high-status resident lords from the Middle Ages onwards, but landownership became increasingly divided, and by the 18th century the riverside settlements were relatively ‘open’, with strong outside links and (by the 19th century) marked religious Nonconformity. Major residential development in the late 19th and early 20th century turned Caversham, Lower Caversham and (later) Emmer Green into suburbs of Reading both socially and administratively, while the northern upland areas remained rural. The Middle Ages During the Middle Ages Caversham manor was held by a succession of leading aristocrats of mainly comital rank and above, including the earls of Pembroke and Warwick. William Marshal (1146/7--1219), regent of England from 1216, chose Caversham as one of his main residences, and his generous endowment of the shrine and chapel there may have been part of a larger investment in the manor house, which stood close to the Thames.1 William kept a huntsman at Caversham,2 and either maintained or created the deer park, which was stocked with ten does in 1223.3 Free warren (the right to small game) was enjoyed as ‘of old’.4 Later lords maintained the house, which saw sporadic royal visits from Henry III,5 Edward I,6 and Edward II.7 Caversham was one of Margaret de Lacy’s regular residences 1 Above, landownership; for chapel, below, relig.
