Having considered the responses received, along with all other considerations and the need to manage risk in the effective delivery of elections in line with legislation and Electoral Commission Guidance, the Returning Officer has made the following resolutions. All polling places are monitored on an on-going basis. • No representations were received in respect of the recommendations from the Polling Districts and Polling Places for the following wards. The Returning Officer has determined that there will be no changes to the current Polling District and Polling Places listed below: • Esher Ward • Long Ditton Ward • Thames Ditton Ward • Hinchley Wood and Weston Green Ward • Claygate Ward • Molesey East Ward • Cobham and Downside Ward • Oxshott and Stoke D’Abernon Ward • Weybridge Riverside Ward • Oatlands and Burwood Park Ward 4 Representations were received in respect of the recommendations for the following wards: • Molesey West Ward • Walton Central Ward • Walton North Ward • Walton South Ward • Hersham Village Ward • Weybridge St. George’s Hill Ward The representations can be viewed on the Council’s website at https://www.elmbridge.gov.uk/elections Molesey West Ward The Returning Officer has determined that the Polling Place for Polling Districts GB and GC be located at Molesey Youth Centre, Ray Road and Molesey Henrietta Parker Adult Learning Centre, Ray Road respectively. The Returning Officer has determined that both Molesey Youth Centre and Molesey Henrietta Parker Adult Learning Centre, are available and suitable venues for use as Polling Places and are located within the Molesey West Ward. The two Polling Places also cover two different County Divisions and are utilised for separate County Divisions in respect of Surrey County Council elections. Walton Central Ward The Returning Officer has determined that that the Polling Place for Polling District JC will be located at the Christian Science Church, 70 Oatlands Drive, Weybridge. The Returning Officer has determined that the Christian Science Church is an appropriate and available venue to specifically take account of the Parliamentary Constituency. This also avoids electors having to change Polling Stations depending on the type of election. The Returning Officer has also determined that the Christian Science Church is located in a convenient proximity for electors in Polling district JC. 5 Walton North Ward The Returning Officer has determined that no changes be made to the Polling Places within the Walton North Ward. The Returning Officer concurs with the representations received that these are the most suitable and available venues at this current time. Walton South Ward The Returning Officer has determined, following a representation made to the consultation, that the boundary for Polling District LB be amended to include all properties on the even side of Molesey Road from Hersham train station to the Rydens Road junction, including the industrial estate, (all previously in Polling District LC). This change is illustrated on the map in Appendix A. This change will provide those electors with a more convenient polling station at Esher Rugby Club as it is located at a closer proximity. There are no other changes to be made in respect to the current Polling Districts and Polling Places for the Walton South Ward. Hersham Village Ward The Returning Officer has determined that the Polling Place for Polling District MA be confirmed as All Saints Roman Catholic Church Hall, Queens Road on a permanent basis. It is a suitable and available alternative to Hersham Village Hall which is currently unavailable as a polling place. Weybridge St. George’s Hill Ward The Returning Officer has determined that the Polling Place for Polling District PC will be located at St. George’s Hill Lawn Tennis Club, Warreners Lane. It is an appropriate and available venue taking into account the close proximity to the electors in Polling District PC. There are no favourable alternatives at such close proximity to the electors for Polling District PC. Next Steps A revised Register of Electors will be published on 1st March 2019 to incorporate the above changes. 6 Elmbridge Borough Council Schedule of Polling Districts and Polling Places FINAL DECISIONS POLLING WARD DISTRICT POLLING DISTRICT POLLING PLACE LETTER ESHER AA Esher South King George’s Hall, High Street, Esher, KT10 9RA.
