Southwark Labour Party Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England from Southwark Labour Party The Labour Party in Southwark welcomes the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s review of warding arrangements and their draft proposals. We believe the pattern of warding proposed in the draft recommendations is sensible and an improvement on the current warding arrangements, which placed less emphasis on natural communities in order to create a uniform pattern of three-member wards. We have some reservations regarding the boundaries in some areas and on ward names. The most significant of these is that we believe that our original proposal to form a three-member Denmark Hill ward would create a greater geographic coherence than the proposal to split this area into a two-member Champion Hill ward and a one member Half Moon ward. Elsewhere, we think the proposals in a few cases split natural communities in a way where some minor amendments could correct. We have also discussed some of these matters with representatives of the other two political groups represented on the council. In these discussions, it is clear that the two largest political groups on the council (Labour and the Liberal Democrats, accounting for 61 of the 63 members) had some areas of agreement that are likely to be reflected in our responses. Our submission is set out in five parts. The first four reflect the four geographical areas identified in the Commission’s draft recommendations (although we have moved Bridges ward over to the North East cluster of wards). The fifth part summarises the amendments sought in parts 1-4. 1 1. Central Southwark We support the seven wards proposed in this part of the borough. They have strong community identities and the proposed ward names in this section of the draft proposals all reflect those communities. However, we propose some amendments to improve the community coherence in this area, particularly at its western end around Camberwell. 1.1 Brandon Estate Map 1: Brandon Estate We welcome the Commission’s proposal to include more of the Brandon Estate within Newington ward, and removing these areas from Camberwell Green ward. However, one small part of the estate remains in Camberwell Green in the draft proposals, which creates an anomaly in splitting the ‘Brandon 3’ area (the south eastern part of the housing estate) Brandon between these two wards. Estate We are therefore proposing that the remaining Brandon 3 areas are moved into Newington ward, uniting the whole Brandon Estate within one ward. Doing so would also improve electoral equality, by transferring 189 electors from Camberwell Green ward (which would have 5% more electors in 2021 in the Commission’s draft proposals) to Newington ward (which would have 2% less electors in the draft proposals). Draft Commission proposals Labour’s proposed amendment These 189 electors live at the following Boundary of Brandon Estate properties that should be transferred: 42-53 Glenfinlas Way, 97-101 Bethwin Road and 1-8 Kirwyn Way (seven low-rise blocks collectively known as “The Bungalows”) The block of flats 9-38 Kirwyn Way The block of flats 9-50 Laxley Close The block of flats 51-57 Laxley Close Newington’s electoral equality would improve from this change, from being 2% under the 2021 average number of electors per member to 1% under. This and the changes proposed under 1.2 and 1.3 below would improve the equality for Camberwell Green ward from 5% above the average to 3% above the average. 2 Map 2: Brandon 3 area Draft Commission proposals Labour’s proposed amendment Area covered by Brandon 3 Tenants & Residents Association 1.2 D’Eynsford Estate Both the Labour and Liberal Democrat proposals to the Boundary Commission at the previous consultation stage proposed warding arrangements that united the D’Eynsford Estate within a single ward. However, the draft proposals retain the current split of this estate between Camberwell Green ward and the proposed St Giles ward. The D’Eynsford Estate is a relatively small housing estate with its own tenant management organisation and it would be more coherent to have this within a single ward whilst also enabling easier administration for the tenant management organisation. We therefore propose realigning the ward Map 3: D’Eynsford Estate boundary that currently runs from Camberwell Church Street to Elmington Road through the estate to instead follow the length of Kimpton Road. This would place all of the D’Eynsford Estate within the proposed St. Giles ward. The map below shows the estate (blue boundary), D’Eynsford Estate the currently proposed ward boundary (in green) and our proposed revision (in red). This revision would transfer the following electors: 1-35 Kimpton Road from Camberwell Green ward to St Giles ward (21 electors) 3 1-25 Don Phelan Close from Camberwell Green ward to St Giles ward (39 electors) 128-164 Don Phelan Close from Camberwell Green ward to St Giles ward (71 electors) 25-33 Camberwell Church Street from St Giles ward to Camberwell Green ward (1 elector) This therefore transfers a net 130 electors from the proposed Camberwell Green ward to the proposed St Giles ward. Given that the currently proposed Camberwell Green ward would have 5% more electors than the average by 2021, this helps improve electoral equality in that ward. Whilst it would make the electoral equality of St Giles ward (4% over in the current proposals) slightly worse, this would still be within the 5% level and would also be corrected in part by other proposed changes that we are putting forward. 1.3 Junction of Southampton Way and Benhill Road This is a relatively small change proposed, transferring 22 electors from St Giles ward to Camberwell Green ward. The purpose of this proposal is to provide a clearer boundary between the wards at this point, rather than have a boundary separating adjoining properties. The Commission’s proposals replicate the current ward boundary, but that boundary’s relevance has been superseded by new homes built in the intervening period. The revision would move the following properties to Camberwell Green ward: 6-18 Benhill Road (21 electors) 98 Southampton Way (1 elector) The map below shows the Commission’s draft proposal in green and our proposed amendment in red. Map 4: Southampton Way/ Benhill Road junction + 4 1.4 Area surrounding Peckham Academy The Commission have adopted proposals for Map 5: Area around Peckham Academy the boundary between St Giles ward and Rye Lane ward similar to those put forward by the Draft Commission proposals Labour Party, which proposed adding the area Labour’s proposed amendment Western edge of Peckham bounded by Peckham Road, Lyndhurst Way town centre and the railway line to the old Brunswick Park ward. However, it differs in one key respect – it also transfers the area surrounding Peckham Academy (bound by Peckham High Street, Bellenden Road, Highshore Road and Lyndhurst Way) to St Giles ward. We believe that this creates significant difficulties: the proposed St Giles ward is a Camberwell-based ward whilst the proposed Rye Lane ward is very clearly a Peckham- based one. The proposed boundary cuts through parts of Peckham town centre, dividing it between three wards (Peckham, Rye Lane and St Giles) and puts a very ‘Peckham’ institution – the academy – into St. Giles, along with the Peckham Job Centre. Bellenden Road, an important local shopping street, is divided between Rye Lane and St Giles wards in the draft proposals. Our concern is that having a town centre divided in such a way reduces the focus on its needs and its sense of place. We are therefore proposing a reversion to the originally proposed boundary by the Labour Party – to simply run this boundary along Lyndhurst Way. This would remove 62 electors from the already quite large St Giles ward (the current proposals have 4% more electors here than the average by 2021) and transfer them to the smaller Rye Lane ward. Given that our proposals above regarding the D’Eynsford Estate increase the size of the electorate in St Giles ward (see section 1.2), this proposal also helps ameliorate that increase. This proposal would see the following properties transfer from Rye Lane ward to St Giles ward: The flats at 1 Basing Court (12 electors) Bryanston House, Basing court (5 electors) 18 Bellenden Road (6 electors) 38-40 Bellenden Road (2 electors) 52-58 Bellenden Road (9 electors) 2 Collyer Place (4 electors) 12-38 Peckham High Street (9 electors) Marcus House, Peckham High Street (15 electors) 5 1.5 Minor amendments to Nunhead ward The currently proposed Nunhead ward is slightly under the average number of electors per member in the 2021 projections. We propose two small additions to the ward that will improve the sense of community. The first of these is to transfer the addresses on the Map 6: west side of Nunhead Green from Rye Lane ward to Nunhead Green Nunhead ward (the newly built homes at 1-5 Nunhead Green). This would ensure that all the properties around the Green are in the same ward and ensure that all the community facilities for Nunhead based around the Green, including the library and the new community centre are in Nunhead ward (we also proposed uniting these facilities in a single ward in our initial proposals). This transfer moves 13 electors from Rye Lane ward to Nunhead ward. Site of new Nunhead Community Centre The map to the right shows the Commission’s draft and 1-5 Nunhead proposed boundary for the area around Nunhead Green Green in green and our proposed amendment to this in red.
