What Those Funny DC, DB and DA codes mean
On your electoral card, the one where it tells you your polling station, etc:
Each of the 18 wards in Coventry get assigned a letter. In Earlsdon's case, it's "D", and then, the ward is split into smaller geographic areas, "DA", "DB", etc.
DA, DB, and DC are near the high street of Earlsdon, DD, DE and DF are in Stivichall, DG and DH are on the other side of Canley overland (DG is Canley Road and DH is along Broad Lane).
So, that's what DC 1002 means.
Personally, I have no idea why the ward is shaped this way. People who live north of the railway bridge on Earlsdon Avenue North consider themselves in Earlsdon, but they aren't. People along Broad Lane probably would self-define as being in Whoberley.
Perhaps it would make more sense, instead of having 54 councilors for 18 wards, to have 54 councillors for 27 wards, to make them more geographically-defined by community.
