Appendix 2 for Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places , Item REVIEW OF POLLING STATIONS BAMBER BRIDGE EAST Polling Postal Voters In Polling Electors Polling Place District Voters Person Stations RV14-BBE3 569 80 489 St Aidan’s Parish Church Hall Single RV15-BBE2 1554 272 1282 St Aidan’s Parish Church Hall Single RV16-BBE1 1279 223 1056 Bamber Bridge Methodist Church Single Parliamentary Constituency All three polling districts are in the Ribble Valley St Aidan’s Parish Church Parliamentary Constituency. Hall County Division RV14-BBE3 and RV16-BBE1 are in the South Ribble East County Division. RV15-BBE2 is within the Lostock Hall & Bamber Bridge County Division. Parish None of the polling districts are within a parish. Existing Polling Places Both polling places are very good venues with good access and parking. Suitable Alternative Polling Places Bamber Bridge Leisure Centre, The Coppice Bamber Bridge Methodist Church School, Bamber Bridge St Aidan’s CE Primary School, Cuerden Church School and Cumberland School. Walton-le-Dale Young People’s Centre is within this ward but is on the boundary with Coupe Green & Gregson Lane Ward. It is currently used for polling district RV17-CGGL1 and it would not be suitable to use as a double station. Electors The number of people voting at each polling place are within the acceptable levels. Proposed Development There is no development proposed in polling districts RV14-BBE3 and RV15-BBE2. In RV16- BBE1 there are 151 properties (257 electors) proposed to be developed by 2024. Recommendation Polling Districts - The ward is currently split into three polling districts. Bamber Bridge Methodist Church covers the southern part of the ward and the two polling districts to the north are within different County divisions. The number of electors voting in person at each polling station is acceptable, and the proposed development would not impact on this. Therefore, it is recommended that no changes are required to the polling districts. Polling Places - Both existing polling places are very good and none of the alternative venues would be as suitable as the existing polling places and therefore, it is recommended that St Aidan’s Parish Church Hall and Bamber Bridge Methodist Church continue to be used as the polling places for Bamber Bridge East. © Crown copyright and database rights OS 100022485 | Lancashire County Council Licence 100023320 BAMBER BRIDGE WEST Polling Postal Voters In Polling Electors Polling Place District Voters Person Stations RV12-BBW1 2235 336 1899 Bamber Bridge Catholic Club Double RV13-BBW2 862 130 752 Bamber Bridge Methodist Church Single Parliamentary Constituency Both polling districts are in the Ribble Valley Bamber Bridge Catholic Club Parliamentary Constituency. County Division Both polling districts are within the Lostock Hall & Bamber Bridge County Division. Parish Neither of the polling districts are within a parish. Existing Polling Places Both polling places are very good venues with good access and parking. Suitable Alternative Polling Places Bamber Bridge Football Club and St Mary’s Bamber Bridge Methodist Church & St Benedict’s RC Primary School. The council moved away from the school in 2015 to the Catholic Club. Electors The number of people voting at each polling place are within the acceptable levels. Proposed Development In RV12-BBW1 there are 70 properties (119 electors) proposed to be developed by 2024. In RV13-BBW2 there are 18 properties (37 electors) proposed to be developed by 2024. Recommendation Polling Districts - The ward is currently split into two polling districts with Bamber Bridge Catholic Club covering the north of the ward and Bamber Bridge Methodist Church covering the south. Both polling districts are within different County Divisions and the proposed development would still mean that the number of electors voting in person at each polling station is acceptable, so it is recommended that no changes are required to the polling districts. Polling Places - Both existing polling places are very good and none of the alternative venues would be as suitable as the existing polling places and therefore, it is recommended that Bamber Bridge Catholic Club and Bamber Bridge Methodist Church continue to be used as the polling places for Bamber Bridge West. © Crown copyright and database rights OS 100022485 | Lancashire County Council Licence 100023320 BROADFIELD Polling Postal Voters In Polling Electors Polling Place District Voters Person Stations SR09-B1 2489 447 2042 Northbrook Primary School Double SR10-B2 1265 231 1034 St Mary’s Priory Club Single Parliamentary Constituency Both polling districts are in the South Ribble Parliamentary Constituency. Northbrook Primary School County Division Both polling districts are within the Leyland Central County Division. Parish Neither of the polling districts are within a parish. Existing Polling Places Both polling places are very good venues with good access and parking. However, the school has asked the Council to look at alternative venues. Suitable Alternative Polling Places There are no suitable alternative venues. St Mary’s Priory Club Electors The number of people voting at each polling place are within the acceptable levels. Proposed Development In SR09-B1 there are five properties (9 electors) proposed to be developed by 2024. There is no development proposed in SR10-B2. Recommendation Polling Districts - The ward is currently split into two polling districts as both polling districts were previously within different County Divisions. Since then the County Division boundaries have changed and the ward is now wholly within Leyland Central County Division. Therefore, the existing polling districts are now only used to differentiate which polling place each elector would need to attend if they would like to vote. There is very little development proposed within the next five years within the ward and therefore this would not impact much on the total electorate. It is recommended that both polling districts be combined to make one polling district. Polling Places - Both existing polling places are very good and there are no suitable alternatives. As the school has asked us to look at possible alternatives on a number of occasions, consideration has been given as to whether the whole ward could be combined at one polling place. If the two polling districts are combined, as referred to in the paragraph above, this would only require two polling stations of approximately 1500 voters for each station. This is within the acceptable levels for a double station. St Mary’s Priory Club would be more than capable of becoming a double station as the room used and the parking available are excellent. Consideration has been given to the additional distance some of the electors to the north of the ward would have to travel with some having to travel up to 0.8 miles. However, this is only 0.3 miles further from Northbrook Primary School. It is therefore recommended that only one polling place be used for the Broadfield ward and this be a double station at St Mary’s Priory Club. © Crown copyright and database rights OS 100022485 | Lancashire County Council Licence 100023320 BROAD OAK Polling Postal Voters In Polling Electors Polling Place District Voters Person Stations SR20-BO1 2764 677 2087 Cop Lane CE Primary School Double SR21-BO2 797 191 606 Woodcroft Close Community Centre Single Parliamentary Constituency Both polling districts are in the South Ribble Cop Lane CE Primary School Parliamentary Constituency. County Division Both polling districts are within the Penwortham West County Division. Parish Both polling districts are within the Broad Oak Town Ward of Penwortham Town Council. Existing Polling Places Cop Lane Primary School is a good venue and we have recently had to move back to this polling place following the demolition of St Mary’s Church Hall as this was the only suitable option. Woodcroft Close Community Centre is a good single polling place. However, we have had concerns raised with regard to parking at this venue. Also, when there are County or Borough/Town Council Elections a double station Woodcroft Close Community Centre is required and the venue is only just large enough to manage two stations within it. Suitable Alternative Polling Places There are no suitable alternative venues. Electors The number of people voting at each polling place are within the acceptable levels although consideration does need to be given to Woodcroft Close Community Centre because of the parking issues and the requirement for a double station for certain elections. Proposed Development There is no development proposed in either SR20-BO1 or SR21-BO2 before 2014. Recommendation Polling Districts - The ward is currently split into two polling districts. There is very little development proposed within the next five years and therefore the figures for the electors voting in person is not likely to change much. Woodcroft Close Community Centre is a good single polling place although the parking is limited. There have been issues/complaints with parking at recent elections. It is also used as a polling place for part of the Middleforth Ward (SR22-M1). In addition, when County or Borough/Town Council elections take place at this venue, a double station is required as each polling district falls within a different division/ward. The venue isn’t ideal to be a double station. Consideration has therefore been given as to whether we could relocate SR21-BO2 to a different polling place. As both polling districts within this ward are in the same Parliamentary Constituency, County Division, Borough and Town Ward it is recommended to combine them into one polling district with a total electorate of 3561 (2693 voters in person). Polling Places - In previous years SR20-BO1 voted at St Mary’s Church Hall, but following its demolition we moved back to Cop Lane CE Primary School in May 2019 as there were no other suitable alternatives being available within the ward. If both polling districts are combined, as © Crown copyright and database rights OS 100022485 | Lancashire County Council Licence 100023320 recommended above, this would give a total of 2693 voters in person, which would be acceptable as a double station in one polling place.

  • A Walk Around St. Leonard's Parish Boundary, Penwortham
    A Walk around St. Leonard’s Parish Boundary, Penwortham. Background. Penwortham is one of the ancient parishes of Lancashire. Until the 17th century it comprised of the townships of Longton, Howick, Penwortham, Farington and Hutton. In the early medieval period it also comprised of Brindle. The earliest written record of a church at Penwortham dates from the 1140’s. Map courtesy of Alan Crosby from his book “Penwortham in the past” Middleforth the township (which acquired it’s name from the middle ford on the River Ribble) was gradually growing in the early first part of the 19th century and the Vicar of St. Mary’s Rev. W.E. Rawstorne decided that the time was right to build a chapel school. Middleforth Chapel School opened in 1861 in the village, situated on the corner of Leyland Road and Marshall’s Brow. In 1901 a prefabricated iron church was built next to the school. This was in use until the present church was opened in 1970. As St. Leonard’s Church in Middleforth grew further, it was soon able to manage its own affairs and in 1959 became a conventional district but still in the Parish of St. Mary, Penwortham. Further growth took place with Penwortham becoming part of the Central Lancashire New Town. It was therefore decided that St. Leonard’s could stand alone from St. Mary’s and a new benefice of the Parish of St. Leonard, Penwortham was established on 1 April 1972 by an Order in Council dated 1 March 1972. The area concerned was taken out of the ancient parish of St.
