Parish Review

 

RMBC is in the process of undertaking a Parish Review.

 

The Council has a duty to keep under review the electoral arrangements of its Parishes and the last review was undertaken over 20 years ago 

 

Since that time there have been significant changes, such as demographic trends and new housing developments and some boundaries relate poorly to their communities. In addition to this as part of the periodic electoral review concluded in 2004, there were changes made to Parish wards where parts of the parish were included in more than one of the Borough wards

 

The main aims of the Review will be to ensure that Parish boundaries:

 

• continue to reflect the identities and interests of the communities they serve
• Are meaningful
• Facilitate the delivery of effective and convenient services

 

The outcome of the first phase of the consultation can be viewed in the report below:-
