PROPOSALS FOR THE FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE IN THE COUNTY OF NORTH

1. We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, having carried out c_ our initial review of the electoral arrangements for the borough of Scarborough in accordance with the requirements of section 63 of, and Schedule 9 to, the •" Local Government Act 1972, present our proposals for the future electoral arrangements of that borough.

2. In accordance with the procedure prescribed in section 60(1} and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on 21 April 1975 that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to the Scarborough •^ Borough Council, copies of which were circulated to the Parish Councils and v Parish Meetings in the district, the County Council, the Members of Parliament for the constituencies concerned and the headquarters of the main political parties. Copies were also sent to the editors of the local newspapers circulating in the area and of the local government press* Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from any interested bodies.

3. The Scarborough Borough Council were invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our consideration. When doing so, they were asked to observe ' ~^'-/ the rules laid down in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972 and the guidelines which we set out in our Report No 6 about the proposed size of the t * council and the proposed number of councillors for each ward. They were also asked V to take into account any views expressed to them following their consultation with ^*-f ' local interests. We therefore asked that they should publish details of their provisional proposals about a month before they submitted their draft scheme to us, thus allowing an opportunity for local comment* *t. The Council have not passed a resolution under section 7(4)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972. The provisions of section 7(6) will therefore apply and the elections of all district councillors will be held simultaneously.

5* On 27 October 1975 the Scarborough Borough Council presented their draft scheme of representation. The Council proposed to divide the area of the borough into 22 wards, each returning 1, 2 or 3 councillors, to form a council of *+9 members.

6. We considered the draft scheme submitted by the Council together with the comments received. We noted that the scheme complied, in general, with the rules in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972 and our own guidelines.

7. We decided to adopt the draft scheme as our draft proposals but to propose an alteration to the boundary between the Castle and Northstead wards to make a more even standard of representation within the area of the former municipal borough of Scarborough. We adopted some minor boundary adjustments suggested by Ordnance Survey,

8. On 30 April 1976 we issued our draft proposals and these were sent to all who had received our consultation letter or had commented on the Council's draft scheme. The Council were asked to make those draft proposals and the accompanying maps, which defined the proposed ward boundaries,,available for inspection at their main offices. Representations on our draft proposals were invited from those to whom they were circulated and, by public notices, from members of the public and interested bodies. We asked that any comments should reach us by 25 June 1976.

9. The Borough Council and a political party expressed support for the draft proposals. >*/* _^» 10. Another political association reiterated earlier objections to the proposed reduction in size of the Woodlands ward and put forward alternative proposals for the wards in the area of the former municipal borough of Scarborough* We examined these proposals but found they resulted in a less even standard of representation for the area with one ward seriously over-represented and we decided not to adopt them* We therefore confirm our draft proposals as our final proposals*

PUBLICATION 11. In accordance with section 60(5)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972 a copy of thie report and a copy of the maps are being sent to Scarborough Borough Council and will be made available for public inspection at the Council's main offices. Copies of this report (without maps) are also being sent to those who received the consultation letter and those who made comments. A detailed description of the boundaries of the proposed wards as defined on the maps is set out in Schedule 2 to this report.
