Polling District and Polling Place Review 2019 Polling District and Polling Place Review 2019 The Polling Review is based on the current arrangements from the previous District Ward Boundary Review that came into effect in May 2016 and the revised amendments to Parish boundaries following the Community Governance Review in July 2019 which will come into effect for Stroud District and Parish Council Elections in May 2020. We have created an interactive map and a corresponding polling district document to assist you with your submission. For clarification on the colours provided on the map, please use the layer list in the top right of the screen when on the mapping. Further information about the review can be found on our website here. The electorates figures used for this Review are based on the 1 August 2019 electoral register. It is also worth noting that the electorate is the total electors for the polling station and includes those who have a postal vote in place.

From this amendment the polling district boundary now needs to be amended to reflect the change in the parish boundary for Amberley. We are proposing an amendment to the polling district references to reflect current guidance and legislation. Guidance provided by the Electoral Commission state that using numbers as part of the polling district identifier could cause confusion to elector numbers.

Additionally it was agreed that Bisley (Eastcombe Ward) would absorb 4 properties on Middle Hill from Chalford (Bussage Ward Div 1) to make the boundary between the two parishes more logical and reflective of the identities and interests of the community as well as making the community governance more effective and convenient. From this amendment the polling district boundary now needs to be amended to reflect the change in the parish boundary for Bisley (Eastcombe Ward). We are proposing an amendment to the polling district references to reflect current guidance and legislation.

Issues, Options and Reasons for Stroud Acting Returning Officer Proposals CE – The Community Governance Review provided an opportunity to revise an error in the warding arrangements for Randwick and Westrip Parish Council that the Local Government Boundary Commission for England made when undertaking the electoral review of district boundaries in 2015. The review corrected the Councillor allocations and also resulted in the renaming of CE polling district which is currently known as Cainscross (Lower Westrip Ward Div 1) to an amended ward name of Randwick (South West Ward). It is proposed that the name of the polling district is changed to reflect the parish ward name. CF – The outcome of the Community Governance Review resulted in renaming CF polling district which is currently known as Stonehouse (Ebley Ward) to an amended ward name of Stonehouse (Ryeford Ward). It is proposed that the name of the polling district is changed to reflect the parish ward name. In addition to the name change, an amendment to the boundary of Stonehouse (Ebley Ward) which would split CF polling district and transfer 132 properties to Cainscross (Ebley Ward) and retain 57 properties in Stonehouse (Ebley Ward) to reflect more accurately the elector’s views on the identities and interests in the community. From this amendment the polling district boundary now needs to be amended to reflect the change in the parish boundary for Cainscross (Ebley Ward) and Stonehouse (Ryeford Ward). We are proposing an amendment to the polling district references to reflect current guidance and legislation.

By the time I had got down the lane it had moved round to our gravel patch, and a man came trotting up past our house to apologize for parking there. Naturally I invited him in for a cup of tea, and he told me the story of his life. From the age of two he had been a Barnado's child in the cottage next to ours, and at the age of nine had been sent to Australia without warning or explanation.

  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • 7.4 Stroud District Council Area Rationale Member Support
    7.4 Stroud District Council Area Number of Proposed Divisions: 10 Total Electorate for District in 2010: 90,091 Forecast Electorate for District in 2016: 93,737 Forecast District Average Number of Electors per 9,374 Councillor in 2016: Forecast County Average Number of Electors per 9,220 Councillor in 2016: % Co-terminosity with District Wards 80% Rationale A major constraint in drawing up the proposals for the Stroud division is the geographical position of Wotton-under-Edge. Forming a new division of about 9300 in the south west of the district has a large knock-on effect for the whole southern part, at least, and can produce what looks like odd-shaped boundaries. However, for the most part, the new divisions are coherent, mostly based on current divisions and achieve a high coterminosity of 80%. Member Support The proposals for the Stroud District Council area are supported by councillors from all political groups. Electorate Figures for 2010 and Forecast Figures for 2016 Division 2010 2016 Forecast Forecast Electorate Electorate electoral electoral variance in variance in 2016 (based 2016 (based on District on County average) average) ST1 7,575 9,428 1% 2% ST2 9,120 9,537 2% 3% ST3 9,544 9,709 4% 5% ST4 10,233 10,411 11% 12% ST5 9,213 9,507 1% 3% ST6 8,749 8,836 -6% -5% ST7 9,010 9,117 -3% -2% ST8 8,387 8,714 -7% -6% ST9 9,906 10,031 7% 8% ST10 8,358 8,445 -10% -9% Total Electorate 90,095 93,735 for Stroud District Stroud Division ST 1 The proposed new division links the parishes lying mostly between the River Severn and the M5 motorway.

  • Gsia Projects in Support of the Restoration of the Stroudwater Canal
    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 2006 pages 3-11 GSIA PROJECTS IN SUPPORT OF THE RESTORATION OF THE STROUDWATER CANAL Ray Wilson One of the first excursions made by the newly formed GSIA in 1964 was to the Stroudwater and Thames & Severn Canals. Our leader was Humphrey Household who published his detailed history of the Thames & Severn Canal in 1969. Similar walks held over the years have always drawn a good attendance. Indeed, many of our members are also members of the Cotswold Canals Trust which has for more than thirty years (under different names) vigorously promoted the restoration of the two canals. Through a combination of practical work and campaigning the Canals Trust have kept alive thoughts of a full restoration of both waterways. They were rewarded in 2001 when The Cotswold Canals Partnership was formed to build on the work already carried out by volunteers and to drive restoration plans forward. The project to restore the Cotswold Canals is planned to be undertaken in phases: • The restoration of the Stroudwater Navigation from Stonehouse to Stroud and 4km of the Thames & Severn from Stroud to Brimscombe Port and the establishment of a walking trail to Saul Junction (phase 1A) • Restoration of the Stroudwater Navigation between Stonehouse and Saul Junction (phase 1B) • The restoration of the Thames & Severn Canal from the Thames at Inglesham to the Cotswold Water Park running close to Cricklade • The creation of a walking trail along the entire length of the Thames & Severn Canal between Brimscombe and Inglesham • Connecting the Cotswold Canals to Swindon through the North Wilts Canal • Restoring the Thames & Severn Canal from Brimscombe to Sapperton Tunnel west portal and from Sapperton Tunnel east portal to the Cotswold Water Park • Restoring the 3.6km (2¼-mile) Sapperton Tunnel In January 2006, the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) formally awarded £11.9 million towards phase 1A of the restoration.
