  • 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%. Member Support The proposals for the Stroud District Council area are supported by councillors from all political groups. Electorate Figures for 2010 and Forecast Figures for 2016 Division 2010 2016 Forecast Forecast Electorate Electorate electoral electoral variance in variance in 2016 (based 2016 (based on District on County average) average) ST1 7,575 9,428 1% 2% ST2 9,120 9,537 2% 3% ST3 9,544 9,709 4% 5% ST4 10,233 10,411 11% 12% ST5 9,213 9,507 1% 3% ST6 8,749 8,836 -6% -5% ST7 9,010 9,117 -3% -2% ST8 8,387 8,714 -7% -6% ST9 9,906 10,031 7% 8% ST10 8,358 8,445 -10% -9% Total Electorate 90,095 93,735 for Stroud District Stroud Division ST 1 The proposed new division links the parishes lying mostly between the River Severn and the M5 motorway.
