VAUXHALL CONSTITUENCY- PRINCE’S WARD Issues and Proposals The 2014/5 Review considered the uneven distribution of electors to polling stations and whether a number of electors from VBA could be reallocated to VBC and VBD. However, as the roads in Princes Ward lend themselves to the current distribution of polling districts and any other alignment would send some electors on a rather difficult route it was agreed not to make any changes. No changes are recommended for this ward.

VAUXHALL CONSTITUENCY - VASSALL WARD

Issues and Proposals Polling place for VED

In 2015 it was agreed to use Minet Library as the previous venue, Charles Edward Brooks School, was closed.

When works were undertaken to the library building, the polling station was moved to Longfield Hall, however access to the hall is up a steep flight of stairs and therefore does not have disabled access. (A stair crawler is available but requires two trained volunteers and voters have no means of alerting staff from the street).

It is therefore proposed to move the polling place to the Minet Library.

VAUXHALL CONSTITUENCY - CLAPHAM TOWN WARD Issues and Proposals The unequal distribution of voters to polling districts was reviewed in 2014/15. The layout of the roads in this Ward makes an even distribution of electors difficult to achieve without forcing voters across busy roads to get to their polling places. The area of VHD encompasses the Triangle Estate and it was decided to keep it all in one district rather than combine with VHA which already has a large number of electors. There are no changes proposed to this ward.

STREATHAM CONSTITUENCY- TULSE HILL WARD Issues and Proposals SOB - It is proposed to move the polling place back to the Raleigh Park Centre, Arodene Road, Brixton, London, SW2 2BH. The polling station was moved to Jubilee School when the building was temporarily unavailable. SOD – A ward councillor has asked that residents of the Cressingham Gardens Estate vote at Jubilee Primary School, which is on a bus route, as it would be easier to reach than their current polling place at Holy Trinity School, Upper Tulse Hill. However, the school is in a different polling district. It is recommended that any proposal for residents of Cressingham Garden is reviewed following the LGBCE review.

STREATHAM CONSTITUENCY - BRIXTON HILL WARD Issues and Proposals A councillor asked for an assessment of the use of schools in this ward and Coldharbour ward. Schools were asked to assess whether they could remain open and alternative sites were reviewed. SQA: Sudbourne School – This school is well sited in the polling district. The alternative, Corpus Christie School, is on the edge of the district. The school is a split site but use of the Key Stage 1 Hall as a polling station would mean that closure of Key Stage 1 and considerable disruption to Key Stage 2 which uses the hall for activities and lunch. SQC: Richard Atkins Primary – the school has confirmed that it does have to close but does try to schedule an Inset day and has not receive any complaints from parents. A visit was made to an alternative location in the district, All Saints Church Hall, 250 Lyham Road but hire cost was higher and the building not so convenient. SQD: Holmewood Nursery – the proposed alternative, Roupell Park Community Centre, Hyperion House, SW2 1HZ, is on estate road with no blue badge or public parking. It is therefore proposed to continue with the schools which are currently used.

The only alternative location in the polling district is Telferscot School which would also have to close. It is therefore proposed that we continue use Henry Cavendish Primary School (Balham) in order to avoid voter confusion and the arrangement works well. This will be reviewed gain following the LGBCE ward boundary review.

STREATHAM CONSTITUENCY - ST LEONARD’S WARD Issues and Proposals Double stations

In the 2010 elections there were queues at the close of poll at some of these stations Henry Cavendish (Streatham) is therefore a double polling station although it has less than 2500 voters.

SVB - The number of voters at the St Leonard’s Church Hall has increased to from 2,290 to 2,827 and will therefore become a double polling station.

No other changes are proposed for this ward.

STREATHAM CONSTITUENCY - STREATHAM SOUTH WARD Issues and Proposals Polling Place for SWA

A large main road cuts through this polling district, with the polling place situated on the wrong side of the road for over half of the electors. No negative feedback has been received.

There is one alternative building within the polling district, which is the café at the very top of Streatham Common which is at the very top of a steep hill and would be harder to reach for many electors than the current polling place. It is recommended that the same polling place is retained.

DULWICH & WEST NORWOOD CONSTITUENCY - COLDHARBOUR WARD Issues and Proposals

A ward councillor asked for an assessment of the use of schools of schools in this ward.

NJA: St John’s Angell Town has confirmed that it remains open as it is able to segregate voters from pupils and teachers.

NJB – Loughborough Primary School has to close. The proposed alternative,

Loughborough Estate Community Office would be more expensive to hire and therefore is not recommended.

NJD – Hill Mead Primary School previously closed and has proposed to move the polling

place to the Key Stage 1 building which is self-contained. This would enable the Key Stage 2 building (Years 3-6) to remain open. It is possible that Key Stage 1 children would be able to be accommodated in the other building on polling day.

In 2014 it was noted that NJA and NJB are both fairly large polling districts and that it would be possible to add a fifth polling district, taking parts of both NJA and NJB. However, given the lack of a suitable alternative polling station venues in the area, all electors would still have to use the 2 polling places already assigned to NJA and NJB.

NLB is a small district with 427 polling station voters. This district was previously larger containing two housing estates in this polling district – Peabody Hill Estate and Lower Peabody Estate. As they are separated by a winding path along a steep hill it was agreed in 2015 to move the Lower Peabody Estate into NLC so that residents could vote at the nearer alternative, Rosendale Primary School.
