Lewisham Council's Governance Committee reviewed proposed changes to polling stations for the May 2026 elections in February 2026. The committee addressed issues with venue availability and suitability across three wards and considered delegating authority to the Returning Officer for urgent temporary amendments to polling places.
Temporary changes are planned for polling districts in Hither Green, Bellingham, and Sydenham. A report to the committee noted that the St Christopher Christian Fellowship Church in Hither Green is no longer available as it has been placed on the market for sale.
