Decision details

The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) has recently completed electoral reviews of both South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridgeshire County Council. These completed reviews have resulted in a need for the Council to review some of its polling districts and polling places. This opportunity is also being used to review polling arrangements in Trumpington Meadows.

The Civic Affairs Committee

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL     the adoption of the following changes to the Council’s scheme of Polling Districts and Polling Places:

(a)          Deletion of the existing polling district of Fen Ditton (RA1), and creation of two new polling districts of Fen Ditton West (RA1) and Fen Ditton East (RA2). Residents in RA1 will continue to vote in Fen Ditton. Residents in RA2 will need to attend the polling station in Teversham to vote in the county elections next year. They will vote in Fen Ditton for other elections.

(b)          Deletion of the existing polling district of Whittlesford South (WH2), with all WH2 properties being moved into the polling district of Whittlesford (WH1).

(c)          Amendment of the appointed polling place for the polling district of Childerley (NL2) to incorporate the parish of Knapwell. This will allow electors in Childerley to visit the Knapwell station for the county elections next year.

(d)          Creation of a new polling district of Trumpington Meadows (PG2), with all the properties within the boundary of the new polling district being moved from Haslingfield (PG1).
