We have received the following from Paul Butler, Democratic Services and Elections Lead Specialist at FHDC:

On the 02 October 2023 a 6-week consultation will begin concerning the current polling districts, places and stations.

We welcome comments from anyone in the district about this, and also the proposals submitted by the Acting Returning Officer. 

I presented to Audit & Governance about the review last week and the recording can be found on our website here –

Audit and Governance Committee – Wednesday 13 September 2023, 6:00pm – Folkestone & Hythe webcasting (public-i.tv)

Copies of the notice, forms, proposals and lists will be available in printed format at the Civic Centre, in addition to being on the website at the following address:

Polling District and Place Review 2023 | Folkestone & Hythe District Council (folkestone-hythe.gov.uk)

Please note: The review does not include the boundary lines of Parish wards or Councils, they can not be changed through this review.

I will send out the review notice and comment form to you next week.  I’d be grateful if you could put the notice on your websites and noticeboards please.

Submissions for the review can be made until 17 November 2023.
