  • Southwark Labour Group of Councillors and Its Representatives from Across Southwark
    Local Government Boundary Commission for England Electoral Review of Southwark Council Southwark Group of Labour Councillors Submission November 2015 1 Introduction The Labour Party in Southwark welcomes the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s review of the warding arrangements in Southwark and their decision that Southwark Council should retain 63 Members for future elections. We now welcome the opportunity to submit evidence to the Commission. Labour has 48 of the 63 councillors on Southwark Council, holds all three parliamentary seats and the GLA seat. This document sets out the thinking of the Southwark Labour Group of Councillors and its representatives from across Southwark. We have used our knowledge of working in communities in every part of the borough to set out our proposals for warding patterns and the communities which make up the details of this proposal. In this paper we set out our joint approach, how that meets the criteria set out in law and information to support these claims. We are very happy to discuss the details of this further with the Commission or provide any additional information that is required. 2 Our approach The Commission set out three statutory criteria to the Council’s Chief Executive in their letter of 8 September 2015. 1. To deliver electoral equality where each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors as others across the borough. The LGBCE’s letter to the Chief Executive agrees the council’s own recommendation that the authority retains its current 63 members. The projected electorate figures mean that each councillor would represent 3,862 electors on average in 2021.
