About Kingoldrum

Polling station reprieved!

The final proposals by the Returning Officer, approved by Angus Council on 3rd November 2011, were:

Having considered the risks and having due regard to the representations received, the Returning Officer recommends that Kingoldrum Hall be retained as the polling place for polling district ASE with the caveat that this be monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the accessibility needs of the disabled continue to be fully considered.

In reaching this decision the Returning Officer took noted "strong public and [Councillor] member opinion regarding the closure of Kingoldrum Hall as a polling place." This included representations from Cllr Andrews, Cllr Mackintosh, Kirrirriemuir Landward West Community Council and a petition from 83 local residents.

The application is currently under consideration by Angus Council. The proposers have published information on their website www.carrachwindfarm.co.uk
