Selby District Council undertook a community governance review in 2014 which proposed to amend the parish warding arrangements in Wistow parish and Selby town. Electoral arrangements for Wistow parish and Selby town were provided for in the Selby (Electoral Changes) Order 2014. As such, these are protected electoral arrangements under the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. The Commission has granted its consent for the proposed changes. The Commission also grants its consent to change the parish electoral arrangements in the manner set out in the Council’s request of 18th February. This allows the Council to make an Order altering the electoral arrangements in Wistow parish and Selby town, as provided for in section 86 of the Act.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough Borough Council requested consent to change the name of Kader ward to Kader & Brookfield ward. Consent was refused on 14 September 2015. During its electoral review of Middlesbrough the Commission held three stages of public consultation and as a result of those consultations, the Commission considered that the name Kader was most appropriate for the new ward. Whilst the Commission acknowledges that there is some local support for re-naming the ward, there is also some opposition to changing the name. In light of this opposition and in addition to the evidence gathered during the review, the Commission considers that the name Kader should be retained.

Bromsgrove

Bromsgrove District Council undertook a community governance review in 2015 which proposed to move an area of the parish of Clent to the parish of Hagley. Consent was required as the electoral arrangements for Clent and Hagley were protected for five years since the Bromsgrove (Electoral Changes) Order 2014 was made. Consent for the transfer has been given.

North Somerset On 6 August 2015 North Somerset wrote to the Commission requesting consent to change the protected electoral ward name of Weston-super-Mare Bournville. This is provided for in the North Somerset (Electoral Changes) Order 2014. The Commission granted consent for the Council to change the electoral ward name of Weston-super-Mare Bournville to Weston-super-Mare South. Darlington Darlington Borough Council undertook a community governance review in 2015 which proposed to change the parish boundary of Hurworth parish which would result in changes to Hurworth’s parish wards and to abolish the parish of Low Dinsdale. The electoral arrangements for Hurworth and Low Dinsdale were protected for five years from 16 December 2014 when the Darlington (Electoral Changes) Order 2014 was made. Consent was therefore needed for the reorganisation of community governance order to be made and consent was granted on 7 December 2015. Part F Electoral Cycle
