Polling stations in the West End

Arising out of the recent consultation exercise, there have been some changes to polling stations in the West End (primarily in the east of the area) and the City Council has recently published a new map showing these.   

The boundaries of polling districts WBD, WBJ and WAJ have been re-aligned.   Electors in WBD (north of Hawkhill) who have previously voted at Park Place Primary will vote at the Al-Maktoum College in future, as will electors in the southern section of WBJ (Brewery Lane etc) who previously voted at the Mitchell Street Centre.

There will be a further change to polling stations after autumn of this year when the current Park Place Primary School moves to its new building.    I have stressed to the City Council that there is a need to find a site for a new polling station within the Nethergate/South Tay Street/West Port and surrounding area that is convenient to residents in the area.
