Blackpool ward boundary changes ahead of May election - as football club takes on new role
Blackpool Football Club will be taking on a new role this May – as the venue for a polling station for the first time.
The Local Government Boundary Commission regularly reviews ward boundaries to ensure they are fair, including that all councillors represent a similar number of residents. The wards in Blackpool had not been reviewed since 2001., with each continuing to be represented by two councillors. But of those, 15 have had their boundaries tweaked. Just six wards remain the same.
For example, moving the boundary between Claremont and Brunswick wards to Talbot Road, has ensured Laburnam Street is no longer divided Also, ensuring properties bordering Claremont Park and Claremont Community Primary School are in Claremont ward.As a result of the changes some people may find they are now in a different ward and may be voting at a different polling station. The council is urging people to check the location on their polling card before going to vote.
