Minutes:
The Electoral Services Manager introduced this item, which invited the Committee to recommend that Council agree some necessary changes to the locations of Polling Places, following the recent boundary reviews for both this Council and the County Council.
The Electoral Services Manager explained that due to the boundary review electors at Childerley would have to vote at Knapwell for County Council elections, as Caldecote was in a different ward. It was noted that the low number of electors at Childerley made a polling station in the village unviable. It was agreed that the location of a polling station in Knapwell for County elections for electors from Childerley needed to be properly advertised.
