  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • Hamfallow Parish Council
    DRAFT CONSULTATION RESPONSE TO STROUD DISTRICT COUNCIL’S DRAFT LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION, NOVEMBER 2019, FROM HAMFALLOW PARISH COUNCIL 1. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your latest version of the Stroud District Draft Local Plan. Hamfallow Councillors have attended the exhibitions and discussions that have been arranged by yourselves and by Ridge, the developer of the proposals for new housing in our area. We have also attended meetings of the local action group, BASRAG, to gauge public opinion on your Plan. 2. In this regard, we would also point out that in our last joint Hamfallow/Hinton Parish Plan, on which we consulted parishioners, less than 2% of respondents favoured clusters of over 100 houses in their parish. As a result, our parishes committed in that Plan to fight large scale developments and to push for sizeable starter/affordable home components in any developments that do take place. 3. Please note that we also commented on the earlier “Emerging Strategy” a year ago and we are very disappointed not to have received any response to the detailed comments we made (attached for ease of reference). None of the concerns we expressed have been addressed in the current draft Plan and so all our earlier comments still apply as comments on the current draft plan. We would like to have proper responses to the issues raised below, and those in our previous response, within 28 days of the close of this consultation. 4. We are very disappointed that the essentials of the new Plan seem almost the same as the previous version we criticised, as in point 3 above.
