Local Government Boundary Commission for England:
Announcement of Ward Boundary Review
The LGBCE announced on 31 July 2018 that it was commencing a review in to the ward boundaries of the London Borough of Harrow. The new ward boundaries would come in to force at the 2022 council election. The Commission will also be conducting a review of 24 other London boroughs.
The Commission state that the "individual borough reviews will decide how many councillors should be elected to each local authority as well as the boundaries and names of council wards. The reviews aim to make sure votes in London local elections are fair and that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters. The Commission will also look at local community interests and ties."
The Commission have also stated in the case of Harrow that they are minded to recommend a council size of 55, a reduction of 8 councillors from the current arrangement with 63 councillors.
The consulatation on warding arrangements, that commenced on 31 July, ended on 8 October. The next stage will be a consultation on the draft recommendations, which have now been published by the LGBCE, between 4 December 2018 and 11 February 2019; final recommendations are scheduled to be published on 26 March 2019.
