📢 Community Governance Review – have your say
We are carrying out a Community Governance Review (CGR) of parish governance arrangements across the whole of the borough.
Our communities have grown and changed a lot in recent years, and some parish boundaries no longer reflect the communities people live in today. With parish elections coming up in 2027 and wider changes on the horizon, we want to make sure local parish areas and governance arrangements still make sense for the people they serve.
The CGR can look at:
• altering parish boundaries
• adjusting councillor numbers
• warding arrangements
• creating or merging parishes
• changing or dissolving current parish councils
• … and more.
When assessing proposals, we’ll look at community life and cohesion, population and natural boundaries, and many more factors.
All of which could affect local representation and community identity - and these arrangements may stay in place into the 2030s.
🗣️ Make sure your voice is heard by submitting feedback by 26 June - it’s your chance to make a difference (link in comments)
