1. Introduction
Under the Representation of the People Act 1983 and Section 16 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006, the Council has a duty to divide the Borough into polling districts and to designate polling places for each polling district for electoral purposes. The Council also has a statutory duty to conduct periodic reviews of polling districts and polling places and has commenced the latest review. Reviews are then subsequently to be undertaken on a five yearly basis. For electoral purposes: A Polling District is a geographical sub division of an electoral ward. A Polling Place is the building or area in which polling station(s) are located. A Polling Station is the room or area within the polling place where the process of voting takes place, and must be located in the polling place designated for the particular polling district. The determination of polling districts and polling places is a matter for the Council. The location of polling stations is determined by the Returning Officer. The Local Government
2
Boundary Commission for England is responsible for ward boundaries. A ward is a geographical sub division of the local authority area represented by councillors. Broxbourne comprises ten wards, each with three councillors.
2. Carrying Out the Review
In carrying out the statutory review the Council is required to:
- give public notice of the holding of a review
- consult with the Returning Officer
- publish all representations made by the Returning Officer (to the Council)
- invite representations from such persons that the Council thinks have particular
expertise in relation to access to premises or facilities for persons who have
different forms of disability and provide the opportunity for these persons to make
representations and to comment on the representations made by the Returning
Officer.
It is recognised that the re-drawing of the boundaries of polling districts and the moving of polling places will benefit those residents who will now be nearer to the proposed polling place, and marginally inconvenience those that will now be further from the previous polling place. It is anticipated, however, that the net benefit in terms of overall elector convenience will be increased through the changes proposed by the review. In summary, having reviewed the existing polling districts, polling places and polling stations, the arrangements in the Borough appear to be largely appropriate to the needs of the electorate. However, some proposals have been made to change polling district boundaries and polling places, as outlined in Section 6 below. The proposals and the reasons for them are supported by the Returning Officer.
3. Review Principles
The review of polling districts and polling places is being conducted in accordance with Electoral Commission guidance, and encompasses the following principles:
- Every polling place/station should be within easy reach of all electors from across
the polling district so that electors do not have to travel an unacceptable distance to
vote.
- All electors have such reasonable facilities for voting as are practicable in the
circumstances.
- Polling places should be within the polling district, unless it is not possible to find a
suitable polling place in a district.
3
- Polling places/stations should provide adequate facilities for the required staff,
equipment and numbers of electors.
- Each polling place/station should be accessible to all electors.
It is not the objective of the review to reduce the costs of conducting elections as the
principle of providing convenient, accessible facilities for electors overrides this.
4. Consultees
The Council would welcome the views of all residents, particular disabled residents on the proposals. In addition, the Council has specifically notified the following groups/individuals about the review:
i) The Member of Parliament for Broxbourne, Mr Charles Walker OBE MP.
ii) Broxbourne Borough Councillors
iii) Hertfordshire County Councillors representing divisions within
Broxbourne Borough
iv) Hertfordshire Royal Voluntary Service
v) Broxbourne Organisation for the Disabled
vi) Four Swans Vision
vii) Vision 4 Growth
viii) Hoddesdon Organisation for Local Disabled
ix) Age UK
x) Hertfordshire Action on Disability
xi) CVS Broxbourne and East Herts
xii) Broxbourne Citizens Advice
xiii) Registered political parties who regularly field candidates in local and
parliamentary elections in the Borough
It would assist the Council if any person or group making representations could, if possible,
give where appropriate, alternative options for the designation of polling districts or
alternative locations that may be used as polling places.
5. Implementation and Impact
The final proposals for polling districts and polling places agreed by the Council will be included in the register of electors to be published on 1 December 2020 and effective for all elections held after that date.

Proposed changes There are currently three polling districts serving this ward and, as a result of the major development occurring in Delamare Road which will see a total of 1725 additional residential units in the area over the next few years, it is proposed to reconfigure the electoral arrangements to provide for four polling districts continuing to be served by three polling places/stations. The White House polling station in Cheshunt is no longer available to use and it is proposed to continue to use as the longer term option St Clements Community Hall as a polling place which was used for the two elections in May 2019. A polling district reconfiguration is proposed for the general convenience of electors in the ward through improving the proximity to the respective polling places serving each polling district. The reconfiguration involves removing the existing polling district boundary line along Cheshunt Wash and Cheshunt High Street and creating new boundaries with the proximity to the polling stations for the electors being the main focus. In addition, the distribution of electors through the revised polling district configuration will provide a good balance in the number of electors served by each polling place/station. The following changes are proposed for polling districts AEB, AEC and AED:
AEB - remove the boundary that currently exists down Cheshunt Wash to include the length
of Mill lane and Brookfield Lane East.
AEC - the existing boundary line along Cadmore Lane will remain along with a new proposed
line in between Kingsmead and Pettys Close.
AEA - a boundary line along Delamare Road is proposed, creating a new polling district AEA.

Proposed Changes There are currently six polling districts serving this ward and it is proposed to reduce this down to four. This is achieved through merging polling districts AFF and AFC into one, as well as AFE and AFD. This proposal comes as a result of the intention to no longer use the Laura Trott Leisure Centre (LTLC) and instead Halsey Masonic Hall will be used as a polling place. The layout and space available at LTLC is limited, especially considering its current use as a double station due to elector numbers. The Council has received a complaint in the past from a
9
disabled elector about the lack of space for wheelchair manoeuvrability in LTLC. It is therefore proposed to use Halsey Hall as its close proximity to LTLC means it will be convenient for the majority of voters who currently use LTLC, provided there is a reconfiguration of the polling districts which is proposed. The hall is accessible, has a large car park and is considerably larger than the space in LTLC, thus has capacity for a higher number of electors. In the meantime, due to these reasons it is the intention of the Returning Officer to use Halsey Hall instead of LTLC as the polling station to serve existing polling districts AFA, AFB and AFF for future elections. Under the polling district proposal, the Drill Hall will become a single station and Halsey Hall would serve the three remaining districts

13
and Tudor Nurseries, currently has a large electorate of 4460, so it is proposed to create a new polling district, AID, in order to accommodate the increased electorate due to future developments. Residents of the new district AID will be served by Burgess Hall which has successfully been used as a polling station previously.

No major upcoming developments. Proposed changes Currently, Hertford Regional College is used as a double station, with polling district ADD
split in half between the two stations. This causes additional administrative work prior to
an election in producing a split register for ADD. It is proposed therefore to enlarge polling
district ADC, which as a result will reduce the numbers of electors within ADD. This will
make it suitable for a combination of ADC and ADE electors to be served by one polling
station at Hertford Regional College, with ADD having its own separate station at the
college.
