  • Esher and Walton Conservatives
    Elmbridge Electoral Review 2015 Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England by Esher & Walton Conservative Association 1 Elmbridge Electoral Review This document is the Official Submission of the Esher & Walton Conservative Association (EWCA) in response to the consultation being held by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on future warding arrangements for Elmbridge Borough Council (EBC). The Conservative Group that forms the administration of Elmbridge Borough Council asked for this review with an aim to reduce the number of Borough Councillors. We are therefore pleased that the LGBCE is minded to recommend a reduction to 48 Councillors. The Esher & Walton Conservative Association notes the Commission’s guidance in relation to Councils that elect by thirds. Elmbridge Borough Council took the decision on 17th November 2014 to retain the by thirds electoral system. Considering the Commission’s guidance and the law, we consider that all new wards should have three members in order to ensure electoral equality for all voters in the borough. In addition to creating inequality, having a few wards that do not vote when the rest of the borough is voting causes confusion with the electorate. Elmbridge is made up of a number of towns and villages each with its own identity and, ideally, these would remain separated amongst electoral wards. However, this is not possible under the by thirds electoral system and it would take more than two or three exceptions to keep all the community boundaries. We believe that different communities can join together in electoral wards – like some do in the Surrey County Council divisions that cover the borough – without affecting or damaging the identities of those communities.
