Electoral Review of Shropshire - Parish & Community Briefing
12 December 2022

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)

Changes start on Saturday 24 December and end on Saturday 7 January 2023.

Collections will return to normal from Monday 9 January 2023.

Householders are asked to put their waste containers out by 7am on their revised collection day.

Household recycling centres

Division Boundaries Consultation for Shropshire
12 December 2022

Have your say

A consultation on division boundaries for Shropshire has begun

Have your say now via our consultation portal

Today is the start of a 10-weekpublic consultation inviting proposals for new council divisions and division boundaries for Shropshire Council.

Our consultation will close on 30 January 2023.

After we have considered all representations made to us during this consultation, we intend to publish draft recommendations in July 2023.

We will then hold a further period of consultation on our draft recommendations. Our final recommendations are expected to be published in September 2023.

The new electoral arrangements will come into effect at the local elections in May 2025.

If you represent a local organisation or community group in Shropshire, please pass this message on to your members or anyone who you think might be interested in the review. You can share the message by email or through social media by using the buttons at the bottom right of the page.

What is an electoral review?

Our electoral review will recommend new electoral arrangements for Shropshire Council.We will propose:

· the total number of councillors elected to the council in the future;

· the number of divisions

· the number of councillors representing each division

· Division boundaries; and

· the names of divisions.

How to get involved

This is a public consultation and we welcome views from individuals and organisations across Shropshireon where they think new division boundaries should be drawn.

We are minded to recommend that 74councillors should be elected to Shropshire Councilin the future.

This is no change from the current number of councillors.

We are now inviting proposals to help us draw up a pattern of electoral divisions to accommodate 74 councillors.

In drawing up new electoral divisions, we must balance three legal criteria, namely:

· to deliver electoral equality: where each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors as others across the area;

· that the pattern of divisions should, as far as possible, reflect the interests and identities of local communities;

· that the electoral arrangements should provide for effective and convenient local government.

We will treat all submissions equally, and judge each case on its merits and against the legal criteria.

If you wish to put forward a view, we would also urge you to ensure that evidence supports your submission.

For example, if you wish to argue that two areas should be included in the same electoral division, make sure you tell us why they should be together, providing evidence about community facilities, ties, organisations, and amenities, rather than simply asserting that they belong together.

There is more advice on our website about how you can get involved in the consultation.

Our website features technical guidance that explains the process and our policies, as well as guidance on how to take part in each part of the process.

We have also set up a webpage dedicated to the review of Shropshire, where you can find all the relevant information.

You can also access interactive maps of the current ward boundaries across Shropshireon our specialist consultation portal. The portal also allows you to comment and upload documents directly to the site.

Promote the review in your area with our promotional poster

Get in touch

We welcome comments on division arrangements by 30 January 2023. Representations should be made:

- Through our interactive consultation portal, where you can explore the maps of the recommendations and make comments;

- By email to reviews@lgbce.org.uk;

-Or in writing to Review Officer (Shropshire), LGBCE, PO BOX 133, Blyth, NE24 9FE
