There has been a comment from a Member of the public that Gamston School is a better location than Markham Moor Inn. The Acting Returning Officer considers that Markham Moor Inn is a central location within the polling districts. The Council is also keen to minimise the use of schools where possible to avoid disruption. In the past the school has been reluctant to be used as a polling station. It is also noted Markham Moor Inn has been used successfully for the previous two elections with good facilities. There have been positive comments from the polling staff on the use of Markham Moor Inn. The (Acting) Returning Officer therefore proposes that Markham Moor Inn be used as the Polling Station for future elections. |

The walking distance is slightly increased for some properties if they were to go to the Town Hall as an alternative. The (Acting) Retuning Officer proposes that polling district KA5 be allocated to the polling station at Harworth Town Hall to reduce the electorate allocated to the community centre given the size of the polling station. It is proposed that there is no change to the existing arrangements for polling districts KA1 and KA2. |

Since Covid the Three Legged Stool has been used as the polling station. Given comments and concerns raised during the election from electors and staff the (Acting) Returning Officer does not consider the Three Legged Stool suitable going forward due to the lack of a separate room for use as the polling station.
Concerns regarding the size of the Conference Room for the size of the electorate have been noted however it is not conserved that there is a suitable alternative within the polling district. It is proposed that there is no change to existing arrangements and the Conference Room North Worksop Children’s Centre be used as the polling station for future elections. |
