Rushcliffe Borough Council:
Today sees the launch of the next stage of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) Review of Rushcliffe.
Please find attached [see Documents, below] their report following the first stage of consultation which ran earlier this year.
In short it proposes:
Council to stay at 44 councillors
21 new wards – four fewer than there are now
More multi-member wards than currently
Boundaries of most wards changing (three stay the same)
Names of some wards changing
Two town / parish councils affected (Bingham and Radcliffe)
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England:
Today we published draft recommendations for new wards, ward boundaries, and ward names for Rushcliffe Borough Council.
We are now inviting comments on those recommendations.
Our consultation closes on 13 December 2021.
As a result of our draft recommendations for new warding patterns, we propose making changes to the parish electoral arrangements for the following parish and town councils:
Our website includes further information about the Commission and the review.
We encourage everyone who has a view on the draft recommendations to contact us, whether you support them or whether you wish to propose alternative arrangements.
We will consider every representation received during consultation, whether it is submitted by an individual, a local group or an organisation.
We will weigh each submission against the legal criteria which we must follow when drawing up electoral arrangements:
to deliver electoral equality: where each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors as others across the borough;
that the pattern of wards 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.
It is important that you take account of the criteria if you are suggesting an alternative pattern of wards.
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 wards, 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.
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.
Nottinghamshire’s annual consultation on admission arrangements is now open and I write to ask for your help in drawing this to the attention of parents. The County Council, as the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools, is required by the School Admissions Code to determine admission arrangements annually. Any changes have to be consulted upon prior to determination.
This year, the consultation for the admission arrangements for 2023-2024 for all community and voluntary controlled schools in Nottinghamshire will be open between 4 October 2021 and 28 November 2021.
The key proposed changes for 2023-2024 include:
review of relevant areas
change to the admission number for Carnarvon Primary School
