1. Introduction

Brighton & Hove City Council will be conducting a full review of its polling districts and polling places under Section 18 of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and in line with the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013.

Within these proposals, the intention is not to make unnecessary changes to polling places and districts. The proposals seek to address issues which have arisen during recent elections and are informed by feedback from the (Acting) Returning Officer, polling station staff, polling station inspectors and electors.

The proposals outlined in this document will update the current polling scheme to account for the following considerations:

a) To try and identify new polling places in areas where the existing provision is inadequate.

b) To ensure, as far as practicable, that polling places are accessible to people with disabilities.

c) To ensure that all electors have such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the circumstances.

d) To try and minimise disruption to schools

The existing Brighton & Hove City Council ward boundaries, and the parliamentary constituency boundaries, are not part of this review, although they will be reviewed periodically in future by the relevant Boundary Committee or Commission.

Across Brighton & Hove, the polling district codes will be renamed to frame them by the Parliamentary constituency. Further letters will be added to the code to identify the ward and polling district within the ward.

The Council and (Acting) Returning Officer would like to use this opportunity, to highlight their appreciation for the continued co-operation of polling places in providing their buildings for the day so that electors have a convenient place to vote.

2. The Review and Decision Making Process

The council publishes notice of holding the review, and consults the (Acting) Returning Officer for each Parliamentary Constituency in the council’s area. The (Acting) Returning Officer’s proposals have been included in this consultation paper along with lists of streets and maps of the affected polling districts.

The council then invites comments on the proposals. The consultation paper will be published on the council’s website, and will also be sent to councillors, Members of Parliament, local political parties, and any other interested groups or persons, including those who have particular expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for persons who have different forms of disability.

All representations will be considered by the (Acting) Returning Officer and published in the final report. The final report will confirm the (Acting) Returning Officer’s final recommendations. If any representation has been denied then a reason for that will be included. The Policy, Resources and Growth Committee will consider the proposals and make a final decision on 10 October 2019. The final agreed polling districts will then be passed to the Electoral Registration Officer and these will be incorporated in the 1 December 2019 Revised Register of Electors.

3. The Review Timetable

The timetable for the review is set out below:

Publication of notice of review, and consultation document including (Acting) Returning Officer’s proposals	Friday 23 August
Closing date for representations	Friday 13 September
Final proposal published via Agenda papers and website	Monday 30 September
Council Policy, Resources & Growth Committee meeting – approval of scheme	Thursday 10 October
Revised Register Published for Effected Wards	Sunday 1 December
Police & Crime Commissioner Election	Thursday 7 May

It is proposed that polling districts AT and AU are merged to form a new enlarged polling district. The current AU polling district requires a second polling station under Electoral Commission guidance because the electorate is over 2,500. By merging the two polling districts the Returning Officer will be able to reduce the number of polling stations at St Nicholas Church Hall from 3 to 2. This should have no adverse effect on electors as the current AT polling station is not large and staffing levels will be increased in-line with Electoral Commission requirements.

The new polling district will look as follows:

All other polling districts and places have been reviewed and no further changes are proposed within Rottingdean Coastal ward.

1. Do you agree that the polling districts AT and AU should be merged to form a new AU/KRCA district?

2. Do you approve of the polling place scheme for Rottingdean Coastal ward?

Queen’s Park Ward, Brighton Kemptown Constituency

It is proposed that polling districts EU and EX are merged to form a new enlarged polling district. It is proposed that the polling place for the newly enlarged EX polling district will be Brighton Youth Centre with Queens Park Primary School no longer designated a polling place. Polling station staff will be increased at Brighton Youth Centre in line with Electoral Commission guidelines. If the polling station electorate increases to more than 2,500 the space at Brighton Youth Centre allows for two polling stations to operate in the same place. Moving electors from Queens Park Primary School to Brighton Youth Centre should not have an adverse effect on electors who will not need to travel more than 800m to the new polling place and will not need to cross Edward Street.

The new polling district will look as below:

St Luke’s Primary School is the designated polling place for ET polling district (and FU polling district in Hanover & Elm Grove Ward). At the elections in May 2019, the school did not have to close and no suitable alternatives have been identified.

All other polling districts and places have been reviewed and no further changes are proposed within Queen’s Park ward.

Consultation Questions

10. Do you agree that the polling districts EU and EX should be merged to form a new EX/KQPD district?

11. Do you agree that the polling place for the new KQPD district should be Brighton Youth Centre

12. Do you approve of the polling place scheme for Queen’s Park ward?

Hollingdean & Stanmer Ward, Brighton Pavilion Constituency

It is proposed that the boundaries of polling districts GZ are altered with streets south of Hollingbury Place/Crescent moving into the GY polling district and Barnett Road moving into GX. Moving these streets will reduce the electorate of GZ allowing the polling place to operate with a single rather than double polling station. It is then proposed that the polling place for GZ is designated as City Gate @ The Dip, 119d Hollingdean Terrace. This venue has more than adequate facilities and the change will result in Hertford Infant School no longer being designated a polling place. Moving electors from Hertford Infant School to City Gate @ The Dip should not have an adverse effect on electors who will not need to travel more than 1000m to the new polling place.

The electors from Barnett Road will move into GX and should not be adversely affected with a distance of less than 600m to St Richard’s Community Hall – the designated polling place for the polling district.

The electors from the south of GZ that will move into GY polling district will vote at Downs Infant School. The Returning Officer’s staff have visited the school and devised an arrangement that will keep the school operational whilst acting as a polling place. This arrangement is supported by the Headteacher, governors and Returning Officer. A large proportion of electors will have their travel distance reduced by the proposed move from Hertford Infants to Downs Infants.

The new polling district will look as below:

All other polling places and districts have been reviewed and no further changes are proposed within Hollingdean & Stanmer ward.

Consultation Questions

16. Do you approve of the redrawing of the polling district boundaries for GX/PHSE, GY/PHSF and GZ/PHSG?

17. Do you agree that the new polling place for GY/PHSF should be City Gate @ The Dip, 119d Hollingdean Terrace?

18. Do you approve of the polling place scheme for Hollingdean & Stanmer ward?

19. Are there any other alternatives that the Council should consider?

Patcham Ward, Brighton Pavilion Constituency

It is proposed that the HZ polling district is split amongst the surrounding polling districts due to a lack of available venues in the area.

The southern part of the district would be moved into HT polling district and electors would visit St Thomas More Church Hall. The hall has step free access and sufficient space to operate two polling stations. Its location next to the current polling place means electors will not be adversely affected by the change.

The northern parts of the former HZ polling district will be split between HY and HX polling districts and electors will visit the current designated polling places for each district.

The new polling district will look as below:

All other polling districts and places have been reviewed and no further changes are proposed to the polling places within Patcham ward.

Goldsmid Ward, Hove Constituency

It is proposed that Cottesmore St Mary Catholic Primary School is replaced by Hove Ruby Club Pavilion, Hove Recreation Ground, Shirley Drive as the polling place for NY in Goldsmid. While the polling place is located a short distance outside of Goldsmid ward no other venues have been located in the area. The Pavilion provides adequate space to operate polling stations for Goldsmid and Hove Park wards and can be accessed from the polling district via crossings on Old Shoreham Road. Parking is also available on the edge of the park.

It is also proposed that changes are made to the NV, NY and NZ polling districts due to the location of available polling places. It is proposed that the border between NV and NZ polling district is changed to run north-south along Montefiore Road and Somerhill Road rather than east-west along the railway. This will allow the eastern polling district to visit Possibility Place on Windlesham Avenue in neighbouring Regency ward with the western district voting at Ajex Hall on Eaton Road. Possibility Place provides adequate space and is accessible from all parts of the polling district.

The roads to the north west of the railway line that are currently within NZ district will be moved into NY polling district and visit Hove Rugby Club Pavilion. This change is because these roads can better access this station via the Old Shoreham Road.

The new polling district lines will look as follows:

All other polling districts and places have been reviewed and no further changes are proposed in Hove Park ward.

Consultation Questions

37. Do you agree with the new boundaries for NV/HGOA, NY/HGOD and NZ/HGOE polling districts

38. Do you approve of Ajex Hall being used as a polling station for the revised NV/HGOA polling district?

North Portslade Ward, Hove Constituency

It is proposed that Hill Park School (formerly Hillside) is designated the polling place for QZ ward. The Garden Room has been identified as a suitable space for polling to take place and using this room may allow the school to remain open. The Returning Officer will work closely with the school and continue attempts to keep the school operational. With significant building works due to take place at both school sites, the designation of the polling place will be kept under review.

All other polling districts and places have been reviewed and no further changes are proposed within North Portslade ward.

South Portslade Ward, Hove Constituency

It is proposed that St Nicolas Parish Centre is designated the polling place for RZ replacing East Hill House. At the May 2019 elections St Nicolas Parish Centre was used as East Hill House is now unavailable. There were no issues with operating polling stations for RY and RZ polling districts at this venue. It is therefore that the change is formalised.

All other polling districts and places have been reviewed and no further changes are proposed within South Portslade ward.
