Returning Officer Comments
Owing to new divisional boundaries a small polling district, O2A, is in the Guildford West division, unlike other Onslow polling districts. Officers will examine the feasibility of O2A residents voting at Kate Granger building as this is administratively more appropriate, so long as these residents do not have to take a long route that passes the existing polling place. The SS1 and SS1A polling districts must be merged into a single SS1 polling district, and the registers sub-divided equally at the same polling place.
An undeveloped northern part of WO1 that has no electors now crosses the new County boundary and must be placed instead in WO2.
Save for the changes that we must make to SS1, WO1 polling districts and consideration of O2A, I recommend that there are no changes to the established polling places.
