2018 Parliamentary Boundary Review

Minutes:

The Executive considered a draft response from the Council to the Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on revised proposals for new parliamentary constituency boundaries. The deadline for the consultation was 11 December 2017.

 

Members were advised the proposals included moving the current Windlesham Ward from the Surrey Heath Constituency to the Windsor Constituency. It was noted that, as a result of the recent local boundary review, the Windlesham Ward would not exist in its current form from May 2019.

 

Members reviewed the draft response and agreed to add further wording to the representation, specifically that the Boundary Commission’s original proposal to include Crown Wood ward from the Bracknell Constituency to the Windsor Constituency should be adopted.

 

It was also commented that some residents appeared to support the proposal for reasons which were not related to Parliamentary constituencies, including school admission matters and association with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

 

RESOLVED to agree the response to the Boundary Commission for England’s consultation,as set out at Annex A to the agenda report, as amended.
