  • Elections – Polling Arrangements
    Elections – Polling Arrangements Review of polling districts, places and stations 2014 Background information If you have any comments or questions please contact: Geraldine Randall-Wilce Electoral Services Officer High Street Coleford Glos GL16 8HG. Tel: 01594 812626 [email protected] 1 Review of polling districts, places and stations General Information The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 introduced a change to the timing of compulsory reviews of UK Parliamentary polling districts and polling places. The next compulsory review must now be started; subsequent compulsory reviews must be carried out every 5 years. The last review took place in 2011. The local authority is responsible for designating polling districts and polling places whilst the Returning officer is responsible for decisions on polling stations. A polling district is a geographical area. Each parish/parish ward must be a separate polling district. A good starting point is to include the whole parish/parish ward as one polling district. If this is too large in order to provide easy access the area can be split into smaller polling districts. A polling place is the area or building in which a polling station is located and should be within the polling district unless it is not possible to find a suitable place. A polling station is the actual room or building where polling takes place. This information is available on the notice of poll and communicated to electors via their poll card. How the review is conducted The Council announces that the review is to take place. The Returning Officer must be consulted on the current arrangements and must make representations on the existing polling stations used.

  • Summer 2018 All Freetext Comments from Engagement Survey
    Outcome of Engagement Report – Summer 2018 All freetext comments from engagement survey respondents I think that the new community hospital should be in or near Cinderford because: It is central to the forest It is the most accessible part of the forest when there is severe weather. It is a central location within the forest, with good connections to other areas of the forest and wider Gloucestershire. It would make transferring between hospitals easier for patients. as part of my work role I cover the Forest of Dean currently based at the Dilke, on a one hour response time I can be anywhere in the Forest within this time frame based in either Coleford or Cinderford its central to North Forest - Maisemore, Corse, etc. More of a community area. This seems a better option as it is central to the forest and would be accessible to many. it would be in our locality and easiest to reach. It has good communications and is closest to my locality ITS CENTRAL TO THE WHOLE FOD CATCHMENT AREA Cinderford is a central location for residents across the FOD, when you take in locations in the Forest such as Newent, Coleford or Lydney would be too far to travel. It is in the most central location, with reasonably good public transport. If it was in Lydney this would be difficult for some people to access, especially people from Newent and surrounding areas. It is situated centrally between Lydney and Gloucester Central to the Forest. Close to area of high deprivation who may otherwise struggle to access healthcare.
