Notice is hereby given that in accordance with Section 18C of the Representation of the People Act 1983, Warwick District Council is to carry out a review of its polling districts and polling places.
Relevant information and mapping regarding the current arrangements and proposals for changes can be found on the Council’s website or can be inspected at Warwick District Council, Riverside House, Milverton Hill, Royal Leamington Spa, CV32 5HZ.

Electors within the Council area or within a UK Parliamentary constituency which has any part in the authority may make a representation. We invite comments from all electors regarding the convenience of voting at polling stations currently used for elections, and would welcome suggestions for alternative sites.
The Council would also welcome the views of all residents, particularly disabled residents, or any person or body with expertise in access for persons with any type of disability, on the proposals, RO’s representations or any other related matters.
