  • Local Government Boundary Commission for England Review Of
    Local Government Boundary Commission for England Review of ward arrangements, Cheshire West and Chester 29 May 2017 I write as the elected Member for Handbridge park ward, first elected in May 2011 and re‐elected in May 2015. I have previously served as Member for Lache ward on Chester city council between May 2007 and May 2009 when the City council disappeared under local government reorganisation. I have also served terms as Governor of Lache primary school between September 2009 and January 2015 and St Clare’s Catholic primary, also in the Lache, between September 2011 and July 2016. I write to support the creation of a new Overleigh ward encompassing the existing Handbridge Park and Lache wards. I also wish to support the inclusion of polling districts JL3 and JE4 in the proposed new ward. The substantive issue of a single 3‐member ward south of the River dee in Chester is compelling. The residents in this area share common services such as schools, medical practices, places of worship and recreation facilities. The Police treat this as a single beat with 1 Constable and 2 PCSOs covering the beat. The local clinical commissioning group is aiming towards a single centrally located GP practice to serve the whole of this area. There is a strong case for multi member wards. In Handbridge Park, which is a 2‐member ward, the workload is shared between the 2 ward councillors and this allows for effective cover when 1 Member is sick or on leave. In the single member Lache ward, many residents have complained about lack of access to their councillor at such times.

The defendants are Arriva plc, Arriva Cymru Limited and Arriva North West Limited (“Arriva”).
