Cooper, Mark From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 02 April 2014 10:47 To: Cooper, Mark Subject: FW: Wraxall and Failand Parish - Review of N. Somerset Council ward boundaries From: Robert Hellen [ Sent: 02 April 2014 10:17 To: Reviews@ Subject: Wraxall and Failand Parish – Review of N. Somerset Council ward boundaries I object most strongly to the proposal to split the Parish of Wraxall and Failand between the two Wards of “Wraxall and Gordano” and “Pill and Easton In Gordano” in North Somerset, following “Map B”. I have a strong preference for the proposals in “Map A” for the following reasons: I understand that this proposal results from objections from Portbury and Pill/Easton in Gordano that splitting the parish between two wards would create difficulties in reaching agreements between the representatives. The new proposal regarding Failand is much worse in that four elected representatives, rather than the two we currently have, would have to obtain a full understanding of the Parish Council’s concerns in order to properly represent them. If it was felt that splitting another parish might be problematic, what sense is there in splitting ours? This proposal would be highly detrimental to the interests of Wraxall and Failand Parish Council and the people it represents.
