Following a decision in August to change the ward boundaries across Bath and North East Somerset and reduce the number of wards to 33 and number of local councillors from 65 to 59, the council are looking at suitable locations for polling stations that will suit the new boundaries.
There is currently a consultation being carried out by Bath & North East Somerset Council asking for suggested locations for polling stations, if you would like to make a suggestion, you have until 22nd October 2018 to have your say.
Here in Twerton many residents will not be affected by these changes, however, with the whole Whiteway estate being moved within the Twerton boundary, it is possible that the polling station for these residents may change.
We understand this could cause many residents that are less mobile an issue with going further to vote and would suggest they consider making use of the very secure postal voting option available. Forms can be obtained direct from the Council and this is the link to their website.
If you would like to discuss this further, please do get in touch.
