The independent Local Government Boundary Commission England (the Commission) is asking for residents and parishes to help in drawing up a new pattern of electoral divisions in Shropshire. The Commission will be giving more information about the review and answering questions at an online briefing on Thursday 15th December at 6.30 pm. You can watch the live briefing, and ask questions using this invitation and the video will be available after the meeting.
Information is also available on the Commission’s website https://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/west-midlands/shropshire/shropshire-unitary-authority-ua
In drawing up the new divisions, the Commission aims to ensure that each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors. The review will also try to create divisions that as far as possible reflect the interests and identities of communities across Shropshire. Since the last review in 2008 the population in some of the divisions has grown more than others and there is more development taking place. Your views about the boundaries are therefore important in ensuring effective governance for Shropshire in future.
The Commission would like to hear opinions on:
• the number of divisions
• the names of divisions
• where the boundaries between divisions should lie
• the number of councillors for each division.
You can make an online submission on the Commission’s website or send your views by email to reviews@lgbce.org.uk or by post to:
Review Officer (Shropshire)
