  • Community Governance Review
    Review of Community Governance in the Parish of West Rainton by Durham County Council Background On 12 February 2018, Durham County Council received a petition from the electors in West Rainton parish which had been forwarded by West Rainton Parish Council requesting that the Council undertake a community governance review to reduce the number of parish councillors on the parish council from 11 to 9, and to change the name of the parish council to include Leamside. The petition contained 284 validated signatures. Draft Recommendations On 15 May 2018 the County Council published terms of reference to conduct a Community Governance Review for the area. The terms of reference were to consult and consider whether the proposal submitted by way of the petition was convenient and reflective of the identities and interests of the community in that area. Initial Consultation Initial consultation took place on 15 May 2018 for a 4 week period involving local county councillors, the County Durham Association of Parish and Town Councils (CDALC), the Member of Parliament for the City of Durham Constituency, Durham Area Action Partnership and local community groups. A press release was issued to cover interested electors with articles appearing in the local media, and information given on how to make representations. Relevant information was also published on the Council’s website. Analysis of Responses Responses in support were received from two residents, and one resident advised of their objection. Comments made in favour included that 11 parish councillors was an over representation, difficulties in attracting more candidates to stand, risk of meetings being inquorate, and necessitating calling of elections.
