Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places and Polling Stations

Report of the Assistant Chief Executive and Chief Digital Officer

Minutes:

Members noted a verbal amendment to the circulated report. NC1 (Blaengwrach, Glynneath West Central Ward) should read ‘Vale of Neath Leisure Centre’ instead of ‘Pensioners Hall, Glynneath’.

 

Decisions:

 

1.              That the Returning Officer’s conclusion that there be no changes to any of the Polling Districts and Polling Places within the County Borough, be agreed;

 

2.              That the changes the Returning Officer intends to make to locations of Polling Stations, as detailed within the circulated report, be noted.

 

Reason for Decisions:

 

To provide for the effective management of the electoral process within the County Borough and to discharge the various legal duties referenced in the report which are placed on the Council and the Returning Officer.

 

Implementations of Decisions:

 

The decisions are for immediate implementation. The Chair of the Scrutiny Committee had agreed to this course of action, there would therefore be no call in of these decisions.

 

Consultation:

 

This item has been subject to external consultation.
