However, as the roads in Princes Ward lend themselves to the current distribution of polling districts and any other alignment would send some electors on a rather difficult route it was agreed not to make any changes. No changes are recommended for this ward.

When works were undertaken to the library building, the polling station was moved to Longfield Hall, however access to the hall is up a steep flight of stairs and therefore does not have disabled access. (A stair crawler is available but requires two trained volunteers and voters have no means of alerting staff from the street). It is therefore proposed to move the polling place to the Minet Library.

The layout of the roads in this Ward makes an even distribution of electors difficult to achieve without forcing voters across busy roads to get to their polling places. The area of VHD encompasses the Triangle Estate and it was decided to keep it all in one district rather than combine with VHA which already has a large number of electors. There are no changes proposed to this ward.

The polling station was moved to Jubilee School when the building was temporarily unavailable. SOD – A ward councillor has asked that residents of the Cressingham Gardens Estate vote at Jubilee Primary School, which is on a bus route, as it would be easier to reach than their current polling place at Holy Trinity School, Upper Tulse Hill. However, the school is in a different polling district. It is recommended that any proposal for residents of Cressingham Garden is reviewed following the LGBCE review.
