Minutes:
A representative of the Strategic Head of Service (Legal & Democratic Governance and Monitoring Officer) submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) requesting the views of the Committee on the current proposed polling arrangements within the area in order to inform the Polling District Review currently underway.
Members acknowledged the difficulty that parents face when schools close on polling day, and wondered if the Council could work with schools to help them remain open to pupils.
RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
