Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places
 
Peterborough City Council is conducting a review of polling districts and polling places within its area.
 
The purpose of the review is to ensure that electors have such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances and with regard to the accessibility needs of disabled persons.
 
A polling district is the area created by splitting a parliamentary constituency into smaller parts within which a polling place can be determined which is convenient to electors. 
 
Electors within the City or within a parliamentary constituency which is partly in the City, may make representations on the polling districts/places.  Furthermore, the Council would welcome any person, or body with expertise in access for persons with any type of disability, to make a representation.  Any representations should, if possible, include alternative places that may be used as polling places.  Representatives must be sent to me by Friday, 19th October, 2007.
 
The Council must consider a report on the review before 31 December 2007 and    public notice will be given of the date of the Council meeting on which the report will be considered.
