Minutes:
Cllr Williams advised that Members have before them a resolution from the Electoral Review Sub Committee to amend three polling stations in the Borough, in Tring East, Nash Mills and Boxmoor and to have reserve provision should a conversation within Adeyfield Ward be unavailable, which I’m assured it will be available.
Cllr Williams mentioned the Committee resolved it’s preference in regards to Boxmoor for the relocation of a now closed polling station to St Mary’s and Joseph Church and that is still our aspiration for the long term, but the Church have indicated that the hall will not be available for May 2nd this year, therefore the fall back provision of Camelot Rugby Club is being recommended for this order.
Cllr Griffiths seconded the proposals and they were agreed by Council.
