BCS Paper 2016/30 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/30 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Constituency considerations for East Dunbartonshire, Glasgow City and West Dunbartonshire council areas Action required 1. The Commission is invited to consider alternative designs of constituencies for East Dunbartonshire, Glasgow City and West Dunbartonshire council areas in furtherance of its 2018 Review of UK Parliament constituencies. Background 2. On 24 February 2016, the Commission began its 2018 Review of UK Parliament constituencies with a view to making its recommendations by October 2018 in tandem with the other UK parliamentary boundary commissions. 3. The review is being undertaken in compliance with the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, as amended. The Act stipulates a UK electoral quota of 74,769.2 electors and use of the parliamentary electorate figures from the December 2015 Electoral Register. The 5% electorate limits in the Act correspond to an electorate of no less than 71,031 and no more than 78,507. 4. The Act requires the Commission to recommend the name, extent and designation of constituencies in Scotland, of which there are to be 53 in total. 2 Scottish constituencies are prescribed in the Act: Orkney and Shetland Islands constituency and Western Isles constituency. 5. The Act provides some discretion in the extent of the Commission’s regard to the size, shape and accessibility of constituencies, existing constituencies and the breaking of local ties. As this review is considered to be the first following enactment of the legislation (the 6th Review was ended before completion in 2013 following enactment of the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013) the Commission need not have regard to the inconveniences attendant on changes to constituencies. 6. At its meeting of 16 May 2016, the Commission adopted groupings of council areas as part of its approach to constituency design for the 2018 Review, which included groups comprising East Dunbartonshire, Glasgow City and West Dunbartonshire council areas. This paper offers some options for constituencies within those groups. 7. The 2015 parliamentary electorates of the council areas in those groups are as shown in Table 1 below: Council area Parliamentary Constituency electorate entitlement East Dunbartonshire 82,127 1.10 Glasgow City 446,353 5.97 West Dunbartonshire 66,725 0.89 total 595,205 7.96 Table 1: 2015 parliamentary electorates of council areas in the group. Document name 1 BCS_2016_30_(Constituency_Design_East_West_Dunb_Glasgow) Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/30 8. The existing constituencies in the group and their 2015 parliamentary electorates are as shown in Table 2 below: constituency Electorate Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East 65,097 East Dunbartonshire 65,362 Glasgow Central 64,307 Glasgow East 66,934 Glasgow North 54,699 Glasgow North East 60,671 Glasgow North West 65,762 Glasgow South 70,642 Glasgow South West 63,699 West Dunbartonshire 66,725 Table 2: 2015 parliamentary electorates of existing constituencies in the group. 9. A map of existing constituencies and council areas in the group can be found at Appendix A. 10. The constituency names in this paper are provisional. The Commission will have the opportunity to review all constituency names and designations prior to the publication of its Initial Proposals. Options 11. All constituencies in the following options have electorates that lie within 5% of the electoral quota and have areas of less than 13,000 km2. 12. Option 1 and option 2 both provide for a constituency containing both West and East Dunbartonshire council areas and 6 constituencies wholly within Glasgow City Council area. Option 3 presents a constituency containing West Dunbartonshire council area and part of Glasgow City, 2 constituencies containing parts of East Dunbartonshire and Glasgow City council areas, and 5 constituencies wholly within Glasgow City council area. 13. All 3 options presented in this paper contain a constituency that crosses the River Clyde because of the distribution of electorate within Glasgow City. Option 1 14. Option 1 provides for 6 constituencies wholly within Glasgow City council area, 1 constituency wholly within East Dunbartonshire council area and 1 constituency combining parts of East Dunbartonshire and West Dunbartonshire council areas. A map of option 1 constituencies is at Appendix B1. An overview of option 1 constituencies relative to other electoral boundaries is at Appendix B2. 15. Bearsden and Kirkintilloch constituency comprises East Dunbartonshire wards 2 to 8, including the settlements of Bearsden, Kirkintilloch, Bishopbriggs and Lennoxtown. 16. Glasgow East constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 19 and 20 and part of Glasgow City ward 18 (East Centre) and ward 21 (North East), including Shettleston, Baillieston, Easterhouse and Riddrie. Document name 2 BCS_2016_30_(Constituency_Design_East_West_Dunb_Glasgow) Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/30 17. Glasgow East Central constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 8 to 10 and part of Glasgow City wards 11 (Hillhead) and 16 (Canal), including the Gorbals, Anderston, Calton and Kelvingrove Park. 18. Glasgow North constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 15 and 17 and part of Glasgow City wards 16 (Canal), 18 (East Centre) and 21 (North East), including Maryhill, Robroyston, Denniston and Springburn. 19. Glasgow Southeast constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 1, 6 and 7 and part of Glasgow City ward 2 (Newlands / Auldburn), including Castlemilk, Langside, Pollokshields and Shawlands. 20. Glasgow Southwest constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 3, 4 and 5 and part of ward 2 (Newlands / Auldburn), including Pollok, Govan and Carnwadric. 21. Glasgow West constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 12, 13 and 14, and part of Glasgow City ward 11 (Hillhead), including Drumchapel, Yoker, Knightswood and Partick. 22. West Dunbartonshire and Milngavie constituency comprises all West Dunbartonshire wards and East Dunbartonshire ward 1 (Milngavie), including the settlements of Dumbarton, Clydebank and Milngavie. 23. The electorate, ward composition, designation and suggested name of each constituency in option 1 is shown in Table 3 below: Constituency name electorate wards Bearsden and Kirkintilloch CC 71,846 East Dunbartonshire – 2 to 8 Glasgow East BC 72,573 Glasgow City – 18pt, 19, 20, 21pt Glasgow East Central BC 76,000 Glasgow City – 8, 9, 10, 11pt, 16pt Glasgow North BC 73,098 Glasgow City – 15, 16pt, 17, 18pt, 21pt Glasgow Southeast BC 74,253 Glasgow City – 1, 2pt, 6, 7 Glasgow Southwest BC 73,106 Glasgow City – 2pt, 3, 4, 5 Glasgow West BC 77,323 Glasgow City – 11pt, 12, 13, 14 West Dunbartonshire and Milngavie 77,006 East Dunbartonshire – 1 CC West Dunbartonshire - all Table 3: 2015 parliamentary electorates of option 1 constituencies. 24. In option 1, 5 Glasgow City wards are divided between constituencies: wards 2, 11, 16, 18 and 21. A detailed map of the boundaries in these wards is at Appendices B3 to B6. 25. The advantages of option 1 are: Bearsden is not divided between constituencies; and Only one of 8 constituencies contains parts of more than one council area. Document name 3 BCS_2016_30_(Constituency_Design_East_West_Dunb_Glasgow) Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/30 26. The disadvantages of option 1 are: More wards must be divided between constituencies than in either options 2 or 3; There are no direct roads between East Dunbartonshire ward 1 (Milngavie) and West Dunbartonshire; and The resulting shape of the Bearsden and Kirkintilloch constituency in option 1 is unfortunate. Option 2 27. Option 2 also provides for 6 constituencies wholly within Glasgow City council area, 1 constituency wholly within East Dunbartonshire council area and 1 constituency combining part of East Dunbartonshire council area and all of West Dunbartonshire council area. A map of option 2 constituencies is at Appendix C1. An overview of option 2 constituencies relative to other electoral boundaries is at Appendix C2. 28. Glasgow Central constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 5, 10, 11 and part of ward 12 (Partick West), including the city centre, Anderston, Govan, Partick and Hillhead. The boundary through ward 12 follows Thornwood and Partick community council boundaries along the Clyde Tunnel, the A814, Broomhill Drive and the railway line between Partick and Hyndland railway stations. 29. Glasgow East constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 9, 19 and 20 and part ward 18 (East Centre), including Calton, Riddrie, Parkhead, Shettleston, Mount Vernon and Baillieston. 30. Glasgow North constituency comprises Glasgow City wards 16, 17 and 21 and part of ward 18 (East Centre), including Easterhouse, Robroyston Springburn and Dennistoun.

  • Dr Anne Mullen, Chair, Deep End Group Scotland
    SSC/S5/19/BTU/57 SOCIAL SECURTIY COMMITTEE BENEFIT TAKE-UP SUBMISSION FROM: DR ANNE MULLEN, CHAIR, DEEP END GROUP SCOTLAND DEEP END MONEY ADVICE PROJECT BACKGROUND For 2014/15, Glasgow Calton was judged to be the worst affected ward in the UK by welfare reform; an estimated £880 a year per working age adult was to be removed from the local economy, largely due to changes in incapacity benefits1. Since then, the four year benefit freeze has reduced the real-terms value of most working-age benefits, and the two- child limit has denied entitlement to thousands of families. THE PROJECT Since December 2015, the Deep End Money Advice Project has gradually embedded the delivery of money advice in 17 Deep End GP Practices in North East Glasgow. Deep End Practices serve the most socio-economically deprived populations in Scotland. The majority of the Practices in the Project are in the Glasgow Calton ward. GEMAP Scotland Ltd. Money Advisors are embedded in Practices in three GP clusters (Parkhead, Bridgeton and Dennistoun) for half a day per Practice per week. Advisors can access patient medical records (with consent) to assist completion of high quality benefit applications / reviews / appeals thus reducing the risk of vulnerable people spending unnecessary, and potentially stressful, time in the system. Typically, money issues raised by patients in GP Practices are more complex than in other settings2. GOVERNANCE The project is managed by the North East Health Improvement Team (Glasgow HSCP) and overseen by an Advisory Group which includes two GPs and representation from the Scottish Deep End Project, Clyde Gateway, Glasgow Centre for Population Health and GEMAP Scotland Ltd.
