  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • 7.4 Stroud District Council Area Rationale Member Support
    7.4 Stroud District Council Area Number of Proposed Divisions: 10 Total Electorate for District in 2010: 90,091 Forecast Electorate for District in 2016: 93,737 Forecast District Average Number of Electors per 9,374 Councillor in 2016: Forecast County Average Number of Electors per 9,220 Councillor in 2016: % Co-terminosity with District Wards 80% Rationale A major constraint in drawing up the proposals for the Stroud division is the geographical position of Wotton-under-Edge. Forming a new division of about 9300 in the south west of the district has a large knock-on effect for the whole southern part, at least, and can produce what looks like odd-shaped boundaries. However, for the most part, the new divisions are coherent, mostly based on current divisions and achieve a high coterminosity of 80%.
