    Electoral Boundary Commission in conjunction with the county councils I presume. Seems rather odd in your case

    It's dopey but what RC parish are you considered to be in?
    Often as the polling stations are the RC patroned primary school the who votes at what polling station is done on the parish cachement areas which are as irregular as fúck.
