What does the review involve?
We are seeking comments in relation to the size and boundaries of polling districts and the location and suitability of polling places, including suggestions for alternative polling place locations which might offer better facilities and/or are more convenient for the voter.
The Acting Returning Officers of any Parliamentary constituency that falls wholly or partially within Tewkesbury Borough will be required to comment on the arrangements for those polling districts and places within their respective constituency areas. Once received, their comments will be published on our website.
More generally, comments can be made by electors within the Council area or within a UK Parliamentary constituency which has any part in the Council area, and we will consult elected representatives in the area (at all levels), and political representatives.
We would particularly welcome comments from disabled residents, or any person or body with expertise in access for persons with any type of disability, on the current arrangements, future proposals, the ARO representations or any other related matters.
