Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2024

Date of consultation: 25 October 2024
End date: 1 December 2024

Consultation summary

Stroud District Council may undertake a review of polling districts and places within the local authority outside of the ‘compulsory review period’ where consequential boundary reviews would or have directly impacted the current polling district and place arrangements currently in place.

This review is being undertaken as a result of the outcome of the review of County Council boundaries undertaken by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) which concluded in March 2024. Following this review we are required to review the Hamfallow Parish and Randwick and Westrip Parish wards and polling districts as a result of boundary changes which have been amended by the LGBCE. The draft Gloucestershire (Electoral Changes) Order 2024 was laid before parliament on the 25 July and is currently going through the objection period before the Order will become Law.

Our review will formally start on Friday 25 October 2024. This will commence the public consultation which will end on Sunday 1 December 2024. Once concluded, final proposals will be collated and then considered by Full Council on Thursday 19 December 2024. If agreed, the amendments will come into effect at the 1 May County Council Elections.

Stroud District Council invited the views from all interested parties in relation to the designation of polling districts, polling places and polling stations. In particular from any residents or groups/organisations that had specific expertise in access for persons with disabilities. 

The documents from the review can be found by clicking the button below and will also include details on how to make a submission. Alternatively you can view the documents in Reception at the Council Offices, Ebley Mill.
