(Acting) Returning Officer’s comments and proposals

  1. Since a change of ownership in 2022, the polling place for ROWH, Masbrough & Thornhill Community Centre, has not been available.  For the elections in 2022 the Liberty Church on Station Road was used without any issues.  The Liberty Church is a suitable building as a polling place, with level access, good interior space and car parking.

The (Acting) Returning Officer proposes that the Liberty Church be designated as the polling place for ROWH polling district.
