Issue - meetings

The Council was presented with a proposal to designate the Surrey History Centre as a new Polling Place for the Ward of St Johns.  The venue had two large meeting rooms, was fully accessible and had off-street parking, providing an ideal location for a polling station in future elections.  The proposal had recently been considered by the Elections and Electoral Registration Review Panel and been supported by the Ward Councillors. 

In outlining the proposal, the Chairman of the Panel, Claire Storey, expressed appreciation for the support of the Al Asr Community Centre which had served as the Polling Place in recent years.

RESOLVED

That  (i)    the Surrey History Centre be designated as the polling place for the St John’s East polling district (K3) in the St John’s Ward; and

          (ii)   the Council’s appreciation be expressed to the Al Asr Centre for its assistance in recent years.
