The Boundary Committee for England is a committee of The Electoral Commission, an independent body set up by Parliament under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The functions of the Local Government Commission for England were transferred to The Electoral Commission and its Boundary Committee on 1 April 2002 by the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (SI 2001 No. 3692). The Order also transferred to The Electoral Commission the functions of the Secretary of State in relation to taking decisions on recommendations for changes to local authority electoral arrangements and implementing them. Members of the Committee are: Pamela Gordon (Chair) Professor Michael Clarke CBE Robin Gray Joan Jones CBE Ann M Kelly Professor Colin Mellors Archie Gall (Director) We are required by law to review the electoral arrangements of every principal local authority in England. Our aim is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, the number of councillors and ward names. We can also recommend changes to the electoral arrangements of parish councils. This report sets out our final recommendations on the electoral arrangements for the borough of St Helens in Merseyside. 5 6 Summary We began a review of the electoral arrangements of St Helens on 4 December 2001. We published our draft recommendations for electoral arrangements on 3 September 2002, after which we undertook an eight-week period of consultation. We now submit final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. • This report summarises the representations that we received during consultation on our draft recommendations, and contains our final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. We found that the existing arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in St Helens: • in eight of the 18 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10% from the average for the borough and four wards vary by more than 20%; • by 2006 this situation is expected to worsen, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10% from the average in nine wards and by more than 20% in four wards. Our main final recommendations for future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 140-141) are that: • St Helens Borough Council should have 48 councillors, six fewer than at present; • there should be 16 wards, instead of 18 as at present; • the boundaries of 17 of the existing wards should be modified, resulting in a net reduction of two, and only one ward, Rainhill, should retain its existing boundaries. The purpose of these proposals is to ensure that, in future, each borough councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In 10 of the proposed 16 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 10% from the borough average. • This improved level of electoral equality is forecast to continue, with the number of electors per councillor in only three wards - Bold, Rainford and Rainhill - expected to vary by more than 10% from the average for the borough in 2006. Recommendations are also made for changes to parish council electoral arrangements which provide for: • revised warding arrangements and the redistribution of councillors for the parishes of Bold and Windle; • revised warding arrangements and an increase in the number of councillors serving Seneley Green Parish Council; • a decrease in the number of councillors serving Eccleston Parish Council. 7 All further correspondence on these final recommendations and the matters discussed in this report should be addressed to The Electoral Commission, which will not make an Order implementing them before six weeks after publication of the Final Report. The information in the representations will be available for public access once the Order has been made.

This report contains our final proposals for the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley's boundaries with the City of Liverpool, the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens, the District of West Lancashire in Lancashire, the Borough of Halton in Cheshire and part of its boundary with the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton. Our recommendations in respect of the review of the Borough of Sefton are contained in Report No. 664. We shall be reporting on the City of Liverpool's boundary with Sefton and Wirral separately. 2. Although during the course of the review we considered the possibility of radical changes to Knowsley, including its abolition, our final proposals involve major change only in relation to the Parish of Simonswood which we are proposing should be transferred to Lancashire. The remainder of our final proposals involve minor changes to Knowsley's boundaries to remove anomalies and defacements. 3. As required by Section 60(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, we have carefully considered all the representations made to us at each stage of the review.

The parcel is therefore dislocated from the urban area. The parcel is bounded to the north by dense woodland and a brook leading to Haydock Park Golf Club, to the east by a railway line and agricultural land, to the west by Rob Lane and to the south in part by the M6 and A572 Southworth Road. The parcel is therefore relatively well contained. However despite the parcel’s high level of containment, given its dislocation from the urban area and its large size it could lead to unrestricted sprawl.
