  • Warwick District Council Ward Boundaries Warwick District Council Submission on Warding Arrangements
    LGBCE Review of Warwick District Council Ward Boundaries Warwick District Council Submission on Warding Arrangements 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This submission is made on behalf of Warwick District Council and is based upon the decision of the Council’s Licensing & Regulatory Committee on 11 January 2018. 1.2 This Council has a fundamental principle that wherever reasonably practicable the Electoral Boundaries should be coterminous, but in doing so they should meet the criteria for electoral equality, the interests and identities of local communities and should promote effective and convenient local government 1.3 Having considered this the Council believes that the proposal it has outlined in this submission meets the criteria for the review and would provide an approach that would best meet the needs of the local communities within Warwick District. 1.4 To achieve this outcome, the Council is proposing 20 Wards with a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 Councillors to represent each Ward to give electoral equality but also to recognise the individual communities within the District. 2.0 Delivering electoral equality for local voters 2.1 The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) has accepted the methodology for local elector growth within Warwick District from 109,855 in September 2017 to 123,333 in 2023. Following the decision by the LGBCE to set the Council size at 44, this provides an elector to councillor ratio in 2023 of 2803 to each Councillor. 2.2 The proposal from this Council works on a principle of coterminous boundaries across the District except for a few exceptions, to improve electoral equality within the towns of Leamington and Warwick.
