Report Writing BABERGH DISTRICT COUNCIL From: Head of Corporate Organisation Report Number: P82 To: Council Date of meeting: 16 December 2014 REVIEW OF POLLING DISTRICTS, POLLING PLACES AND POLLING STATIONS 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 In accordance with the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013, every Council in England and Wales must undertake and complete a review of all of the polling districts and polling places in its area. 1.2 Guidance produced by the Electoral Commission sets out the process for a review, and this has been followed. 1.3 The appendix to this report provides a list of the recommended polling districts, polling places and polling stations, showing the changes which have been made since the last review. 2. Recommendations to Council 2.1 That the Polling Districts and Polling Places as listed in Appendix A to this report be adopted. 2.2 That the Polling Stations proposed by the Returning Officer as listed in Appendix A to this report be noted. 3. Financial Implications 3.1 There are none. 4. Risk Management 4.1 This report is not linked with any of the Council’s Corporate / Significant Business Risks. 5. Consultations 5.1 Consultation has taken place with Parish and Town Councils, District and County Councillors, the Acting Returning Officer and other interested parties. 6. Equality and Diversity Impact 6.1 Access to polling stations is a factor that is taken into account when deciding on a suitable location. 7. Shared Service / Partnership Implications 7.1 There are none. 1 8. Definition of terms 8.1 A polling district is a geographical area created by the sub-division of a UK Parliamentary constituency for the purposes of a UK Parliamentary election. 8.2 In England, each parish is to be a separate polling district, unless there are special circumstances. 8.3 A polling place is the building or area in which polling stations will be selected by the (Acting) Returning Officer. A polling place within a polling district must be designated so that polling stations are within easy reach of all electors from across the polling district. 8.4 A polling station is the room or area within the polling place where voting takes place. Unlike polling districts and polling places which are fixed by the local authority, polling stations are chosen by the relevant Returning Officer for the election. 9. Small Electorates 9.1 The cost of setting up a polling station is at least £500. In the past, some small electorates have been combined with larger electorates at the same polling station, in order to reduce costs. 9.2 When the review was commenced, it was therefore recommended that consideration be given to combining the small parishes of Aldham, Freston, Kettlebaston, Milden and Wattisham, where the polling station electorate is below 100, with larger neighbouring parishes. 9.3 This proposal has, however, caused considerable concern about the accessibility of the polling stations, and therefore no action will be taken in respect of these parishes. 10.

    Schedule of further Main Modifications to the Babergh Core Strategy (2011 - 2031) April 2013 The schedule of further Main Modifications to the Babergh Core Strategy set out in the table below have arisen as a result of the Council responding to the Inspector’s questions, to issues raised during the examination hearing sessions, and to further consideration and efforts to resolve objections where possible. They have all been subject to a Sustainability Appraisal and Strategic Environmental Assessment and are now being made available, together with the SA document, for further public consultation. (Please note: this replaces all previous versions which were made available via the Core Strategy Examination page on the website.) To avoid any unnecessary confusion, we have already taken as accepted the modifications that were consulted on during July - Aug 2012 (see Core Doc K01). These new changes are shown as either bold underline to denote new text or bold strikethrough for deleted text. It is only these new changes which are the subject of this current consultation. Note: All of the Maps that we refer to can be found at the end of this document. Policy / Mod Page Para or Post Submission Modification no. no.

    382 ANNUAL EXCURSION. THURSDAY,AUGU'ST5TH,1909. The Annual Excursion of 1909 took menibers through the Samford Hundred, which is full of places of historic interest. The route covereda distance of nearly forty miles. The start was from the Cornhill, Ipswich, and the first stop was made in Woolverstone Park (by permission of C. H. Berners, Esq.), for members to obtain an opportunity of examining Freston Tower, a familiar landmark standing on the south bank of the Orwell. The Rev. C. R. Durrant, Rector of Freston, acted as guide, and gave an account of the probable origin of the Tower. He has embodied his remarks in the subjoined paper. FRESTON TOWER. BY THEREV. C. R. DURRANT. On July 24th, 1856, the members of the Suffolk Archological Institute made an excursion to Freston Tower, and a paper* was read on the occasion by Mr. Samuel Tymms, in -which he stated that " there is no authority for assigning it to a period so early as the fifteenth century ; or in any way connecting it with the early history of Cardinal Wolsey. Inde- pendent of the style of architecture, which indicates a date full half a century later, it is certain, as Kirby himself has declared, that the tower is unnoticed in a very extensive plan and description of the Manor- house, with its offices and outbuildings in the time of Henry.the Seventh ; that the Wolfferstons,and not • ProceedingsSuff Inst. of Arcbxology, Vol. iii., p. 270.
