Part 1 - Open to the Public ITEM NO. REPORT OF Returning Officer TO Electoral Matters Committee ON 30 October 2019. TITLE: Outcome of the compulsory review of polling districts and polling places 2019 RECOMMENDATIONS: Members of the Electoral Matters Committee are asked to approve the changes to polling districts and polling stations as detailed in the report. The report will be submitted to Full Council on Wednesday 20 November for endorsement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As required by the Electoral Administration and Registration Act 2013, compulsory reviews of parliamentary polling districts and polling places must take place every 5 years, reflecting the Fixed Term Parliament Act 2011. The Council undertook its last compulsory review, which was combined with a review of local election arrangements, in 2013 coming into effect in April 2014. The Council is therefore required to undertake the next compulsory review within the 16 month period beginning on 1 October 2018 and concluding by 31 January 2020. This will be subject to approval by the Electoral Matters Committee (a non-executive committee of the council which has the relevant delegations under Salford’s constitution). It is necessary that this review takes into account the changes to some of the city’s ward boundaries, following the conclusion of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s (LGBCE) Electoral Review of Salford. BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS: City Council’s Constitution The Electoral Commission Guidance 1 Feedback from the consultation KEY DECISION: YES / NO DETAILS: 1. Introduction 1.1 As required by the Electoral Administration and Registration Act 2013, compulsory reviews of parliamentary polling districts and polling places must take place every 5 years, reflecting the Fixed Term Parliament Act 2011. 1.2 The Council undertook its last compulsory review, which was combined with a review of local election arrangements, in 2013 coming into effect in April 2014. The Council is therefore required to undertake the next compulsory review within the 16 month period beginning on 1 October 2018 and concluding by 31 January 2020. This will be subject to approval by the Electoral Matters Committee (a non-executive committee of the council which has the relevant delegations under Salford’s constitution). 1.3 It is necessary that this review takes into account the changes to some of the city’s ward boundaries, following the conclusion of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s (LGBCE) Electoral Review of Salford. 2. Glossary of Terms A polling district is defined as a geographical area created by the sub-division of a constituency or ward into smaller parts. A polling place is a designated area (eg: a designated building) for a polling district into which polling stations are located. A polling station is the room or area within a polling place where voting is conducted. 3. Requirements of the Review In conducting the compulsory review, local authorities must:- Publish notice of the holding of the review Consult the (Acting) Returning Officer in a constituency which is wholly or partly in its area Seek representations from the (Acting) Returning Officer to include information as to the location of polling stations within polling places 2 Publish the (Acting) Returning Officer’s representations within 30 calendar days of receipt Seek representations from persons that have expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for persons who have different forms of disability. Seek representations from electors in a constituency wholly or partly in the authority’s area Encourage representations to be made regarding proposals for alternative polling places Publish the results of the review, giving reasons for its decisions. 4. Current practice: Polling Places The (Acting) Returning Officer adopts a practice where, following each election, any issues in respect of the suitability of a polling place or a polling station is immediately addressed to ascertain whether there is a need to seek alternative accommodation. Polling places are therefore regularly reviewed and updated which reduces the number of issues that need to be addressed in the statutory polling place reviews. In addition, the disabled access in respect of any polling place is assessed at each election by the completion of an access checklist by each Polling Station Inspector with any necessary actions being taken. The last two full elections took place on 2nd May 2019 (local election) and on the 23rd May 2019 (European Parliamentary Election). This reduces the number of issues that need to be addressed in the statutory polling place review. 5. Guidelines In undertaking the review, the authority ensured that:- All electors have reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances In so far as is reasonable and practicable, that polling places are accessible to those who are disabled The accessibility needs of disabled persons had been considered. 7. The outcome of the review The following pages contain details of the outcome of the review. There is one table that relates to each of the authority’s 20 wards which includes:- the polling district the number of electors as at 1 October, 2019 3 the polling place the polling station whether any change was made with a justification for any change or no change.

  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council

    Electoral Review of Salford City Council

    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

The charges remained static over a number of years with small increases being applied throughout the City on an irregular basis, the last being in 2011. Following representations made by some Elected Members, the City Mayor called for a review of parking in the City. This report examines parking in general, the history behind the introduction of parking charges in Salford, the current position and recommendations for future charging policy taking into account charging policies of neighbouring Councils.

We’ve developed some new areas of work whilst ensuring we remain true to effectively delivering the core functions of a CVS. With so much to do – I think everyone in our sector is doing more for less – I have to remind myself sometimes to stop drowning in emails, ignore twitter for a while, give formal meetings a miss, and look up and out into the world – whether it be Salford, GM, or Brexit and beyond. I’ve got to a respectable age now and in doing so have learned the value of looking up and getting to know people and place as well as I can. Snoopy is definitely right… Salford CVS’ overarching aim is to influence, connect and develop the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in Salford. A lofty aim perhaps, and something we endeavour to do with, not to… but nevertheless it’s what we’ve been working hard to achieve in Salford since 1973! Like many organisations from across sectors, one of our ongoing challenges is to keep doing what works whilst seeking to innovate and improve as needed.
