  • East Cambridgeshire District Council
    East Cambridgeshire District Council Response to LGBCE Consultation on Warding Arrangements Introduction East Cambridgeshire District Council (ECDC) has previously submitted a proposal to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) for a council size of 27 councillors, which the LGBCE has indicated it is minded to agree. The next step in the review process is a consultation on warding arrangements for the district to accommodate 27 councillors. Development of the Council's proposed warding arrangements The projected electorate for the district in 2020 (the date to which the LGBCE required us to forecast in order to future-proof the new boundaries) is 71,650. This takes into account expected new developments and projected population growth. In developing its response to the consultation the Council has applied the three statutory criteria that the LGBCE must consider in devising its proposals: To deliver electoral equality for voters. To provide boundaries that reflect community identity and interests. To provide effective and convenient local government. Whilst developing a ward pattern to accommodate 27 councillors a number of issues were identified: The forecast Ely electorate is too large to keep the parish within Ely wards. In order to deliver electoral equality for voters the parish needs to be split. Council Members and City of Ely Council believe the parish of the City of Ely should remain intact to reflect the community identity of the parish and provide effective and convenient local government for residents. There is a strong local desire for Wicken to remain within a Soham ward to reflect the community identity and interests of those parishes.

The key challenge for the District Council is to manage this growth in the best possible way in the future, making sure that new development is properly planned for and is supported by appropriate services and infrastructure. We idgeshire Core Str also need to ensure that the unique character and environment of East Cambridgeshire is protected, and that we respond to challenges such as the need for affordable housing, providing a better range of employment opportunities, regenerating our town centres, tackling high levels of out-commuting, and addressing threats from flood risk and climate change. East Cambr The District Council is in the process of preparing a new Plan for the district, known as the ‘Local Development Framework’ (or LDF). The LDF will help the District Council to meet these challenges, and provide a framework to guide the growth of the district up to the year 2025. The process of preparing this statutory plan is a long one, and we have spent time over the last few years consulting the public and local organisations on the important issues which need to be addressed, commissioning expert studies, and considering existing evidence.
