Have your say on new council ward boundaries

8/6/2018

0 Comments

 
Two years ago there was a boundary review for the County Council wards. We were not informed about it and Coleridge Ward disappeared for County elections. Our corner was put into Cherry Hinton Ward and our County Councillor is now the representative for Cherry Hinton. Had we been informed, we would have said that we have more in common with Romsey than Cherry Hinton (although our Cherry Hinton councillor has been very helpful with pavements and buses.)

There is now a review of City Council wards and we have been informed. The consultation runs until 6 August and it would be helpful if lots of people responded.

The consultation page for this review is https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/12865

You can respond on-line (or write) saying you are responding to the Cambridge City Council review consultation:
     Local Government Boundary Commission for England
     14th Floor, Millbank Tower
     London SW1P 4QP
     Telephone: 0330 500 1525
If you have any queries, please contact the Commission or Electoral Services at the City Council. 01223 457049 elections@cambridge.gov.uk

Copied from the technical advice on the Local Government Boundary Commission website:
 
"In broad terms, in making recommendations, we are required to have regard to:
  • the need to secure equality of representation;
  • the need to reflect the identities and interests of local communities; and
  • the need to secure effective and convenient local government.
Included in the community identities and interests criterion is the desirability of fixing boundaries which are and will remain easily identifiable, and which will not break local ties. Our aim is to identify clear and long-lasting boundaries for ward division. We also take into account factors such as the location and boundaries of parishes and the physical features of the local area when drawing boundaries."
