West Oxfordshire District Council Representation of the People Act West Oxfordshire District Council Representation of the People Act 1983 – Section 18(C) – Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2019 Representations of the Acting Returning Officer for the Parliamentary Constituency of Witney NOTES: 1. A Polling District is a geographical sub-division of an electoral area, i.e. a UK Parliamentary Constituency, a European Parliamentary electoral region, a ward of an electoral division. In England each parish is to be a separate polling district. Where a Town/Parish council is split into Wards, Polling Districts are situated within the Ward. The District Council is responsible for designating Polling Districts. 2. A Polling Place is the building or area in which polling stations will be located. The Polling Place for a Polling District must be in an area of that district except where special circumstances make it desirable to designate an area outside that district. The Polling Place must constitute a small enough area so that electors will not have difficulty finding the polling station. Although there is no legal definition of what a polling place is and the Act states that where no polling place is designated the polling district becomes the polling place, the Electoral Commission recommends that Polling Places always be defined and for that reason it is recommended that the previous policy of designating the polling district as the polling place is changed and the polling places have therefore been designated in the table below in line with the Electoral Commission recommendation. The District Council is responsible for designating Polling Places. 3. A Polling Station is the actual area where the process of voting takes place, and must be located within the Polling Place designated for the particular Polling District. It should be noted that in unforeseen circumstances it may be necessary to change the location of a polling station and the polling place. The Returning Officer is responsible for designating Polling Stations. Electoral Commission guidance states that no polling station should have more than 2,500 electors allocated to it. In West Oxfordshire many of the polling stations have less than 1,000 electors and no polling station has more than 2,100 electors. 4. The representations set out in the following table give details of the existing Polling Districts and Polling Places together with the proposed designated Polling Places together with details of existing polling stations together with any alternatives that have been identified and other comments.

  • Archaeopress Open Access
    World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson, Archaeopress 2013, page 279-301 13 Oxfordshire Matthew Nicholas and Dan Hicks 13.1 Introduction The Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) holds c. 3,241 objects from Oxfordshire that are currently defined as archaeological.1 This represents just c. 11% of the archaeological collections from the UK, and just c. 2.4% of the Museum’s world archaeological collections as a whole. However, such is the quantity of British material, and the international distribution of the collections as a whole, that collections from only 10 of the 134 countries represented in the ‘archaeological’ collections are larger than those from Oxfordshire. Thus, even if leaving the ‘ethnographic’ collections aside, the Oxfordshire archaeological material represents a significant element of the Museum’s collections. Some 2,852 (c. 88%) of these objects from Oxfordshire are prehistoric stone tools. Less than half were obtained through excavation, most being recovered through field-walking or collected during gravel extraction, and many more being collected during building works (Figure 13.1). Earlier chapters have considered the UK archaeological collections from the Palaeolithic (Chapter 9), later prehistoric and Romano-British (Chapter 11), and medieval and post-medieval (Chapter 12) periods, and have discussed some of the Oxfordshire material in the process. The point has been made already, especially in Chapter 12, that many of the apparently ‘ethnographic’ objects from England in fact represent significant resources for historical and archaeological studies.
