RESOLVED that the use of the Communal Room at Willow Court, Willow Road, Bromsgrove, be approved as a permanent alternative polling place for the St. Johns West (SJA) Polling Area.

 

(2)       St. John's East (SJC) Polling Station Review

 

(The Chairman agreed that consideration be given to this item as a matter of urgency because a decision was required before the next meeting of the Committee.)

 

Consideration was given to a report which required the Committee to review an alternative temporary location of the St. John's East Polling District (SJC) polling place whist renovations and improvements are being carried out to the current polling place; namely, the Ryland Centre, New Road, Bromsgrove.

 

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the use of the United Reform Church Hall, Windsor Street, Bromsgrove, be approved as a temporary alternative polling place for the St. Johns East (SJA) Polling Area during the period in which the usual polling place would be unavailable; and

(b)       that suitable arrangements be made to cordon-off a section of the Windsor Street Short-Stay 'Pay and Display' car park for the free use of electors using the temporary polling place.
