Results 27/1: Huntingdonshire, Grafham & Ellington. Yes: 268, No: 12 Telford & Wrekin, Donnington & Muxton. Yes: 1183, No: 264. Not sure about Castle Acre (King's Lynn & West Norfolk seem generally pretty slow to update their website on electoral matters). On 03/2: East Suffolk, Southwold. Tunbridge Wells, Goudhurst Tunbridge Wells/Ashford, Benenden (TW) & seven houses in Biddenden (A).
There is also a Business Improvement District Referendum in St Albans, City Centre. That's an odd one. How often do you have a planning referendum straying across a district boundary? I am working out which are the 7 Biddenden houses. In a previous life I would probably been involved in this as chair of the Ashford Local Plan so I will take an interest in this. If you want to check your guess, the Ashford version of the notice of referendum lists the houses. I thought it seemed a bit unusual, but I can't claim to know much about them! |

Yes I guessed right, and I had already been studying the maps. I was wondering what the mechanism was for counting the votes from those 7 houses. I am sorely tempted to ring up Tracey Kerly (who I knew of old as a young officer in the housing department and now signed that document as CE) and ask her how it is done. I wonder how many votes she is expecting? |

I wonder how many votes she is expecting? The Independent Examiner determined that they should be included in the referendum even they are outside the NP area. I must confess that I was unaware that one of the requirements placed on the Examiner is to consider whether the referendum area should be greater than the Plan area. In this case he decided that because of their close proximity to a site allocated within the NP these specific properties should be included in the referendum. There was, it seems, a request that the whole of the neighbouring parish should be included but he did not feel that was justified. So there we go. In the legislation but rarely used. |

That's the why, for which many thanks, but not the how. How does the counting of votes proceed if as I strongly suspect the the total number of potential votes from 7 households is barely going to make double figures and the actual number of votes, given the usual enthusiasm for neighbourhood plan referendums, might be 10% ish of that, in other words approximating to 1. Do they set up a polling station in case the Voter wishes to cast their vote in person? Do they require the Voter to cross into Tunbridge Wells to vote, given it is a Tunbridge Wells matter? Do they make it Postal Vote only?What a fascinating conundrum. |

Incidentally I assume the development causing the issue to be relevant is almost certainly Benenden hospital, one of the most aggressively marketed and fast expanding private hospitals in the country, and there is one possibly relevant farm in that Mountbeggar area, called, er, Trump Farm. |

I believe it is indeed linked to the hospital site. |

Do they set up a polling station in case the Voter wishes to cast their vote in person? Do they require the Voter to cross into Tunbridge Wells to vote, given it is a Tunbridge Wells matter? Do they make it Postal Vote only?What a fascinating conundrum. I would assume that a "temporary register" would be created (Polling District XX2A Electoral Numbers 132-146, or whatever) and lodged with the Presiding Officer at the appropriate TW polling station who would treat it in the normal fashion. Polling cards are, I believe, issued and they would one hopes emphasise the need to use an unusual polling station. If I may mention the Betley, Balterley & Wrinehill case (ED. Can anyone stop him?  ) there was one polling station but separate registers for each of the three villages. So a polling station juggling more than one register is not unusual. Incidentally this issue could have arisen since the settlement of Balterley is split (in population terms) 85% Staffordshire, and within our NOP area, and 15% Cheshire, and thus outside our NP area. Nobody raised the issue however. Historically it was all in Cheshire until a chunk was transferred into Staffs. This gives rise to the curious anomaly where our civil parish is divided between the See of Lichfield and the See of Cheshire. And, as someone aquainted with matters ecclesiastical you will realise it also divides the civil parish between archdiocesan jurisdictions. Balterley looks to Ebor, Betley and Wrinehill to your chap in Canterbury. |
