Gerrymandering Polling Booth's ?

I am concerned that the City Council are going to so dramatically alter the Polling Booth arrangements in Wednesfield North that they are in grave danger of 'gerrymandering' the democratic process.
I have heard that the changes that are being considered would alter the balance of the voters that are currently using the Polling Stations. In short there appears to be an action taking place that will force areas of the Ward that largely vote Labour closing , forcing residents to walk further to other Polling Stations.

It is a direct attack on Labour if it is true and will be opposed vigorously!
