Deadline approaches for polling review

Manchester residents are being reminded that they have until September 15 to give their views on where they vote in elections.

By law the Council has to undertake a review of polling places and districts at least every four years. Initial proposals for changes to polling arrangements have now been published following feedback from councillors, MPs, and candidates and agents in the recent elections.

The Council is keen to hear what people think about these proposals and their local polling stations - including how convenient they are to get to and how accessible they are.

Proposals can be viewed at www.manchester.gov.uk/consultations

Alternatively, hard copies can be viewed at City Library, Deansgate; Chorlton District Library; the Electoral Services Unit at Manchester Town Hall; North City Library; Gorton Library and the Forum Library in Wythenshawe.

Final proposals, taking into account feedback from electors, will be published in late September before a final decision in October.
