Birmingham Electoral Ward Boundaries Submission June 2016 BIRMINGHAM ELECTORAL WARD BOUNDARIES SUBMISSION JUNE 2016 On behalf of: Keith Hanson, Secretary, Birmingham Labour Party Josh Jones, City Council Labour Group Page 1 of 11 Introduction Response to the Draft Recommendations of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England We are happy to agree to almost all of the report of the Local Government Boundary Commission England Report on the warding arrangements for Birmingham, but for a few changes to Ward names and two minor Ward boundary changes, all detailed below. Many of the problems identified in our previous report, particularly in the South of the City, have been rectified and meet the statutory criteria of keeping communities together, while also maintaining a sensible level of electoral variance. Some potential problems still remain and they are detailed in the report below, but this is always to be anticipated as people do not simply associate with one community identity. Our proposals are contained within the map attached to this document. Page 2 of 11 Ward Name Members Electorate 2021 Variance Detail Aston Ward 2 15402 -4.57 No amendment proposed. The proposed Aston Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission, including Aston Park and Aston Villa FC. Birchfield Ward 1 7817 -3.02 No amendment proposed. The amended proposed Ward boundary means the entirety of Handsworth Park is now in the Handsworth Ward and makes more sense as a Boundary. We are happy to accept these proposals for the Birchfield Ward as they meet the statutory criteria. Bordesley & Highgate Ward 1 7367 -9.31 No amendment proposed. The proposed Bordesley & Highgate Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Bordesley Green Ward 1 7795 -3.31 No amendment proposed. The proposed Bordesley Green Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Edgbaston Ward 2 15329 -5.06 No amendment proposed. The proposed Edgbaston Ward has some changes to our submission, noticeably moving The Warwickshire Cricket Club from the proposed Balsall Heath Ward on the east of Edgbaston Ward the most noticeable. We feel that this would make more sense as part of the Balsall Heath Ward, particularly as the effects of match day parking at the Cricket Club predominantly affects the residents of the Balsall Heath Ward, the Boundary Commission report compels us to accept these proposals. Though we would ask you to think again about this proposal. Handsworth Ward 1 8042 -0.14 No amendment proposed. See comments on the Birchfield Ward. Handsworth Wood Ward 2 15564 -3.48 No amendment proposed. The proposed Handsworth Wood Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Harborne Ward 2 17550 8.23 No amendment proposed. The proposed Harborne Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission, except for the inclusion of the area between Metchley Lane to Harborne Park Road from the Edgbaston Ward, which we are happy to accept. Holyhead Ward 1 7681 -4.84 No amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Holyhead Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Ladywood Ward 2 15390 -4.65 No amendment proposed. Page 3 of 11 The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Ladywood Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Lozells Ward 1 7619 -5.70 No amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Lozells Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Nechells Ward 1 8617 6.55 No amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Nechells Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Newtown Ward 1 8151 1.20 No amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Newtown Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Summerfield & Edgbaston 2 15517 -3.79 No amendment proposed, except change of name. North Ward The proposal from the Boundary Commission for North Edgbaston Ward reflects the identifiable (Formerly known as North community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission, however we feel that the Ward Edgbaston) should be named Summerfield & Edgbaston North. The current Ward name rightly mentions the residents at the southern edge of the Ward, but there are many residents from the rest of the Ward who do not share any community identity with the name Edgbaston. These residents feel that Summerfield better represents them, as the park brings together a shared sense of identity, hence the new ward name. Soho & Jewellery Quarter 2 15388 -4.67 No amendment proposed. Ward The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Soho & Jewellery Quarter Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. The name of Soho and Jewellery Quarter better reflects the communities that live in the ward than the previous name of Winson Green did. Alum Rock Ward 2 17492 7.92 No amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Alum Rock Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our original submission and we are happy to accept this proposal. Bromford & Hodge Hill Ward 2 15215 -5.85 No amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Bromford & Hodge Hill Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission. Garretts Green Ward 1 7314 -10.10 No amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Garretts Green Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission, but for the exclusion of Duncroft Road and Gleneagles Road on the west of the Ward, into the neighbouring Yardley East Ward. We are happy to accept this amendment. Page 4 of 11 Glebe Farm & Tile Cross Ward 2 17306 6.93 No amendment proposed. The boundaries of this ward are largely determined by the River Cole to the north, railway to the south and the city boundary to the east, as recognised in both our previous submissions and that of the boundary commission. Heartlands Ward 1 7875 -2.26 No amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Heartlands Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission.

Sparkbrook Ward 2 16170 0. 39 Minor amendment proposed. The proposal from the Boundary Commission for Sparkbrook Ward reflects the identifiable community and clear boundaries recognised by our own submission, except for a minor amendment to the eastern boundary that means all of the Balsall Heath Town Centre is contained within the Balsall Heath Ward, as defined in the Balsall Heath Neighbourhood Development Plan.

Page 5 of 11 Castle Vale Ward 1 7405 -8.75 No amendment proposed.

Erdington Ward 2 16694 3.52 No amendment proposed.

  • Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston
    Prevention Newsletter Issue 5: 2021 Focus on Edgbaston Bartley Green Reservoir INTRODUCTION Welcome to our fifth newsletter! This month we are focusing on Edgbaston Constituency. The Prevention and Communities (P&C) Commissioning Team are promoting the fantastic, and wide ranging, work happening all over Birmingham. This month it is Edgbaston’s turn to showcase some of what has been achieved with our voluntary and community sector partners. This newsletter will share Edgbaston stories from the different services this team manages and supports including: The Neighbourhood Network Scheme The Prevention and Communities Grants Programme Vulnerable Adults Grants What do we mean by Prevention? Adult Social Care’s Prevention First Vision is about supporting people to lead, “happy, independent lives in their own homes and communities.” Adult Social Care has been changing how we work, taking more time to listen and understand what a good life looks like for people. We are connecting them to the support they need in their community before looking at traditional forms of care. This is known as the Three Conversations approach. To ensure there is community-based support people need and want, our commissioning team have been investing in organisations that can deliver or develop this. Our focus is on support that can improve wellbeing and independence by: reducing isolation, increasing opportunities to be active, maximising income, helping to maintain homes and supporting carers. Please tell us what you think of the newsletter We would love feedback on the newsletter to help us make these really beneficial for social work teams and others who would find these updates useful.
