Interim Polling District Review - Kingsway Ward

Closes 26 Oct 2025

Opened 3 Oct 2025

Overview

The purpose of this review is to consider the current polling district boundary for area R-BB within Kingsway ward.

Current Arrangement: Polling district R-BB comprises 1,515 residential properties and 2,695 registered electors. The designated polling station is Moss Street Youth Centre, located in the western part of the district (indicated by the red square on the accompanying map in the related documents section below).

Proposal: It is proposed that a new polling district be established, as outlined on the map. The revised boundary between R-BB and the proposed new district would follow Kingsway, with residential properties to the east of Kingsway extending to the boundary with R-BD, forming a new polling district, designated R-BF.

  • R-BB (revised):

    • Residential properties: 1,186

    • Electors: 2,140

    • Polling station: Moss Street Youth Centre (unchanged)

  • R-BF (new):

    • Residential properties: 329

    • Electors: 555

    • Proposed polling station: Mobile unit located on the car park of The Hornet pub, Helmsman Lane

This proposal aims to improve accessibility and ensure a more balanced distribution of electors across polling districts.
