Returning Officer Comments
Officers are visiting to confirm feasibility relating to voter numbers at SK2 / SK2A. Owing to new divisional boundaries a small southern part of the current SK1 must be placed in SK2A, whilst a small northern part of SK2A must be placed in SK1. This is because polling district lines cannot cross electoral boundaries.
The current locations are otherwise suitable and within the polling districts. These arrangements are working well.
Save for the changes that we must make to polling districts, I recommend that there are no changes to the established polling places.
