LGBCE Boundary Review

Why Review? – Trigger Criteria

The potential triggers for a Review:

• More than 30% of Divisions having an electoral imbalance
• f greater than +/- 10% from the authority average and /
• r
• One or more Division having an imbalance of more than

30% And

• The imbalance being unlikely to be corrected by

foreseeable changes to the electorate

The Proposal

• A scheme that produces 40 single-member

Electoral Divisions

• A scheme that improves electoral equality
• A scheme that respects Parish & Town

Council boundaries

identities

Town or Parish Councils

• There will be “consequential alterations” to

electoral arrangements for Parish and Town Councils

Electoral Division boundaries cross Parish areas
