To request the Local Boundary Commission for England to undertake a review of the council’s electoral arrangements. (Report of the Portfolio Holder for Governance and Customer and Executive Manager – Governance (Deputy Monitoring Officer) enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Portfolio Holder for Governance and Customer and Executive Manager – Governance (Deputy Monitoring Officer) which sought the Council’s approval to request the Local Boundary Commission for England to undertake a review of the Council’s electoral arrangements.

The Portfolio Holder for Strategy, Governance and Transformation introduced the report. The last review took place in 2006. Given the amount of time since the last review, it was hoped that  a new review would take place. The review was intended to ensure that there was electoral equality within the district.

DECISION:

That Council invites the Local Government Boundary Commission for England to consider whether it wishes to undertake a review of the Council’s electoral arrangements.
