Returning Officer Comments 

A new venue is being investigated for M1.

As can be seen on the map, polling district M3 is accessible to the polling place which is situated just beyond the polling district line in M3A.

The current locations are suitable and otherwise within the polling districts. These arrangements are working well.

I therefore recommend that there are no changes to the established polling districts or polling places except perhaps for M1.
