Report of: Meeting Date Councillor David Henderson, Leader of the Council, and Council 5 March 2020 Garry Payne Returning Officer
REVIEW OF POLLING DISTRICTS AND POLLING PLACES WITHIN THE BOROUGH OF WYRE
1. Purpose of report
1.1 To consider the Returning Officer’s proposals arising from the review of polling districts and polling places within the Borough of Wyre.
2. Outcomes
2.1 That all electors within the Borough of Wyre have reasonable and accessible facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances.
2.2 To ensure that so far as is reasonable and practicable, the polling places are accessible to all electors, including those who are disabled.
3. Recommendations
3.1 That the proposals contained within the Returning Officer’s report attached at Appendix A be approved.
3.2 That the Returning Officer be authorised to determine any unforeseen changes to polling places which become necessary for future elections.
4. Background
4.1 Every four years local authorities are required to undertake a review of all polling districts and polling places and the next review has to be completed by 31 January 2020. However, due to the unscheduled Parliamentary Election in December 2019 the review had to be delayed. The review seeks to ensure that all electors have reasonable facilities for voting in elections and every polling place is accessible to electors who are disabled. Members of the public, borough councillors, political parties, parish/town councils and neighbouring councils affected by the proposals have been consulted regarding the proposals. 4.2 A polling district is the geographical sub-division of an electoral ward.
The Council is responsible for dividing its area into polling districts for UK Parliamentary elections and for keeping the polling districts under review.
Although there is no requirement to sub-divide local government electoral wards into polling districts, it is recognised good practice to do so. In Wyre the same polling districts are used for both parliamentary and local government elections.
When designating polling districts, the Council must seek to ensure that all the electors in the constituency have such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances.
4.3 A polling place is the building in which a polling station is located.
A polling station is the actual area where the process of voting takes place, and must be located within the polling place designated for the particular polling district. This function is the responsibility of the Returning Officer.
The Council must designate a polling place for every polling district in the Borough.
The polling place for a polling district must be within the area of the district unless special circumstances make it desirable to designate an area either wholly or partly outside of the polling district.
4.4 The review process
The Council is required to publish notice of the holding of a review.
This has been done by way of a notice published on the Council’s website, one posted inside and outside the Civic Centre in Poulton-le-Fylde, on 21 Parish and Town Council notice boards and at public libraries within Wyre.
4.5 The polling districts and polling places will come into effect for all future elections from the Police and Crime Commissioner Elections on 7 May 2020.
4.6 When undertaking the review of polling districts and polling places, consideration had to be given to the existing European, Parliamentary, County and Parish/Town Council boundaries. In addition, all polling places must be designated so that they are within easy reach of all electors from across the polling district. The electorate figures used were the current electoral figures available.
4.7 The role of the Returning Officer
The Council is required to consult the Returning Officer for every parliamentary constituency that is wholly or partly within its area. This means that the Returning Officer must consult the Returning Officer of Blackpool Borough Council in respect of the Wyre wards within the parliamentary constituency of Blackpool North & Cleveleys, the Returning Officer of Lancaster City Council in respect of the Wyre wards within the parliamentary constituency of Lancaster and Fleetwood and also the Returning Officer of Preston City Council in respect of the Wyre wards within the parliamentary constituency of Wyre and Preston North.
5. Key issues and proposals
5.1 This report contains details of any proposed changes to polling districts and polling places.
A schedule of polling districts and polling places has been supplied to Members of the Council, other political parties, and to persons who have particular expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for persons who have different forms of disability. The schedule has also been posted on the Council’s website.
5.2 In the course of the review process officers have examined existing polling places. In considering their continuing suitability officers have considered public safety, the availability of buildings, accessibility, location in relation to the centres of population in the polling district, transport links and overall suitability. Officers have then on balance selected the most reasonable and most suitable polling place. Where 'no change' has been recommended the existing polling place is deemed as best meeting these criteria and given all circumstances the best available polling place for the polling district concerned.
5.3 The new electoral register containing any revised polling districts will be published on 1 April 2020. New polling districts and polling places will become effective at all future elections from Police and Crime Commissioner elections on 7 May 2020.

Polling District WD2:
The High School is wheelchair accessible, is in a good position within the polling district, well known and easy to reach from all parts. There have been number of requests to find an alternative polling place to the High School because the room which is allocated is quite small and electors have limited access to car parking. Unfortunately, even after some lengthy investigations it has not been possible to secure another suitable venue within the polling district. The polling place will therefore have to remain at the High School.
Polling District WD3:
The High School is a new polling place for this polling district and is wheelchair accessible. The previous polling place was Larkholme Primary School on Windermere Avenue which became unusual because of new building works preventing separate public access to the school. Although the High School is not situated within the polling district it is within the ward and well known to electors. There is no other suitable polling place available within the polling district.
