Happy with the facilities and Clarborough Hall Parish Council he polling stations and considers the Main Street buildings suitable for voting purposes. Clarborough Retford DN22 9LN DA2 Clayworth Memorial 271 Clayworth Parish Council The facilities are the best option that is Clayworth Hall available. Town Street DA4 Clayworth 76 Wiseton Retford DN22 9AD Total – 347 FA3 Carr Hill Primary 802 John Mann MP Considering the two fatalities of children East Retford East School outside the school, the additional traffic Tiln Lane using this school should be a GA1 Retford 358 consideration. East Retford North DN22 6SW Total – 1,160 On traffic safety and child welfare grounds this polling station should be closed and FA3 and GA1 relocated to St Saviours church hall. There is minimal inconvenience to voters in this proposal and the furthest distance for voters to get to the polling station will in fact be reduced. 3 Polling Polling Place Electorate Individual / Organisation Comments / Representations made District June 2019 Code FA4 Retford Little Theatre 761 Bassetlaw Action Centre Could Bassetlaw Action Centre be East Retford East Wharf Road considered? It has been used previously Retford for polling. IA4 DN22 6EN 672 East Retford West Total – 1,433 FA5 Bracken Lane Primary 1,086 Bracken Lane Primary As a primary school it causes us and our East Retford East School Academy parents and children much disruption being Bracken Lane a polling station. Retford DN22 7EU Does not consider the buildings suitable for voting purposes. Too much disruption to children’s learning. Parents and children inconvenienced. This school has to close and the Elms Hotel provides a suitable alternative. This should be the priority if the Elms Hotel is deemed unsuitable for two polling districts. The approach of the council should be to reduce costs where possible as this also ensures higher quality control over polling stations by closing a few of the smallest, where a suitable alternative is available. 4 Polling Polling Place Electorate Individual / Organisation Comments / Representations made District June 2019 Code John Mann MP A higher priority must be to attempt to eliminate school use where a school has to close and/or where there are highways safety concerns. It is possible to close Carr Hill and Bracken Lane accordingly and it may be possible to close Thrumpton as polling stations with little real impact on voters. HA1 Westhill Community 1,172 Councillor Carolyn Troop Do you have any comments on the East Retford South Centre East Retford South Ward Consultation Document? - Appendix, page Cheyne Wak 7, HA2 East Retford South 3 Welbeck Ordsall Road, Ordsall.

Do you consider the buildings suitable for voting purposes? – Yes except 3 Welbeck Road Do you think there is a more suitable building within the same polling district? – Ordsall Bridon Cricket Club Pavilion could be considered to replace 3 Welbeck Road. Pavilion located on Edgbaston Drive 5 Polling Polling Place Electorate Individual / Organisation Comments / Representations made District June 2019 Code owned by the cricket club on BDC Land. Car park available. Access for people with disabilities via a permanent ramp to the pavilion. IA1 The Butter Market 223 John Mann MP 223 voters from IA1 use this polling station. East Retford West Retford Town Hall It has no inconvenience to co-locate it with Retford FA1 at Albert Hall, saving the council DN22 6DB money in terms of staffing costs. IA3 Thrumpton Primary 814 Thrumpton Primary Suggestions for alternative locations rather East Retford West School Academy than the school: Off Whinneymoor Lane Retford The Sun Inn, Thrumpton Lane DN22 7AF The Elms Hotel, London Road This school has to close and the Elms John Mann MP Hotel provides a suitable alternative JA2 Gringley-on-the-Hill 677 Councillor M Watson The Community Centre has its own car Gringley-on-the-Hill Community Centre Everton Ward park. Considers the buildings suitable for High Street voting purposes. Gringley-on-the-Hill Doncaster Gringley-on-the-Hill Parish I wish to point out that in the Review it DN10 4RT Council Clerk states that Gringley Community Centre only has on-street parking. This is incorrect as there is a car park at the rear of the premises, accessed from Baker Avenue. 6 Polling Polling Place Electorate Individual / Organisation Comments / Representations made District June 2019 Code JA3 Misson Community 571 Misson Parish Council No comments.

Treswell NA8 Retford 193 Treswell DN22 0EG Total - 267 NA4 Rampton Village Hall 497 Local resident Rampton Village Hall is clean and has very Rampton Manor Grounds good facilities. It is ideal for local people. Rampton NA7 Retford 37 Woodbeck Community Centre is ok but a Stokeham DN22 0JU bit tired looking. 8 Polling Polling Place Electorate Individual / Organisation Comments / Representations made District June 2019 Code Total - 534 NA5 Woodbeck Community 203 Do you consider the buildings suitable for Woodbeck Centre voting purposes? – Rampton yes, Woodbeck Woodbeck ?? Retford DN22 0JS If no, please say why and suggest wat you would do to improve – Woodbeck sometimes has no handwash or paper towels in the loos, just a dirty old communal hand towel. Access is ok if the door with the ramp is open. Woodbeck Community Centre has tack ‘love shack’ signs, wiches broom sticks and ‘beer ‘o clock’ wall clocks. If the former children’s nursery at Rampton Hospital could be used this is much more modern and better accessible building. NA6 South Leverton 417 South Leverton Parish No comments.
