The Boundary Committee for England is a committee of The Electoral Commission, an independent body set up by Parliament under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The functions of the Local Government Commission for England were transferred to The Electoral Commission and its Boundary Committee on 1 April 2002 by the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (SI 2001 No. 3692). The Order also transferred to The Electoral Commission the functions of the Secretary of State in relation to taking decisions on recommendations for changes to local authority electoral arrangements and implementing them. Members of the Committee are: Pamela Gordon (Chair) Professor Michael Clarke CBE Robin Gray Joan Jones CBE Ann M. Kelly Professor Colin Mellors Archie Gall (Director) We are required by law to review the electoral arrangements of every principal local authority in England. Our aim is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, the number of councillors and ward names. This report sets out our final recommendations on the electoral arrangements for the city of Wolverhampton. 5 6 Summary The Local Government Commission for England (LGCE) began a review of the electoral arrangements for Wolverhampton on 4 December 2001. As a consequence of the transfer of functions referred to earlier, it falls to us to complete the work of the LGCE. We published our draft recommendations for electoral arrangements on 22 October 2002, after which we undertook an eight-week period of consultation. We now submit final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. • This report summarises the representations that we received during consultation on our draft recommendations, and contains our final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. We found that the existing arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in Wolverhampton: • in five of the 20 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10% from the average for the city; • by 2006 this situation is expected to worsen, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10% from the average in five wards and by more than 20% in one ward. Our main final recommendations for future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 107–108) are that: • Wolverhampton City Council should have 60 councillors, as at present; • there should be 20 wards, as at present; • the boundaries of 16 of the existing wards should be modified and four wards should retain their existing boundaries. The purpose of these proposals is to ensure that, in future, each city councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In 18 of the proposed 20 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 10% from the city average. • This improved level of electoral equality is forecast to continue, with the number of electors per councillor in all wards expected to vary by no more than 8% from the average for the city by 2006. All further correspondence on these final recommendations and the matters discussed in this report should be addressed to The Electoral Commission, which will not make an Order implementing them before 24 June 2003. The information in the representations will be available for public access once the Order has been made.

We are reviewing the seven metropolitan districts in the West Midlands as part of our programme of periodic electoral reviews (PERs) of all 386 principal local authority areas in England. The programme started in 1996 and is currently expected to finish in 2004. 2 This is our first review of the electoral arrangements of Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton’s last review was carried out by the Local Government Boundary Commission, which reported to the Secretary of State in June 1979 (Report no. 340). 3 In making final recommendations to The Electoral Commission, we have had regard to: • the statutory criteria contained in section 13(5) of the Local Government Act 1992 (as amended by SI 2001 No.

  • City of Wolverhampton Council Civic Centre St Peters Square WV1 1RL
    CONSULTATION 3 July 2017 Dear Sir/Madam Re: The Proposed Primary School Expansion Programme 2018-2020 Levels of demand for primary school places in Wolverhampton are projected to increase. In order to ensure sufficient school places are available, the City of Wolverhampton Council has developed the Primary School Expansion Programme 2018-2020. The Primary School Expansion Programme 2018-2020 proposes the expansion of three primary schools in the South East of the City as detailed below: Type of School Ward Postcode Current PAN Proposed Expansion 2016/17 PAN wef September 2018 Permanent Loxdale Primary Bilston East WV14 0PH 30 60 and Relocation Permanent Spring Vale Spring Vale WV4 6SD 30 60 Primary Permanent Stowlawn Bilston North WV14 6EH 30 60 Primary The Reception admission limit of the schools would be increased from 30 to 60 in September 2018. The admission limit for subsequent years would also be 60 and the schools would grow over a seven year period to reach a total capacity of 420 in September 2024. Please note that infant classes (i.e. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) are not allowed to contain more than 30 pupils with a single school teacher (other than in limited exceptional circumstances). Please be assured that, should the proposed expansion be implemented, class sizes at the School would meet this requirement. Loxdale Primary School In order to facilitate the proposed expansion and due to current site constraints, Loxdale Primary School would need to relocate to a new site. Subject to approval of the proposal, the school would transfer onto the nearby Bilston Urban Village site and be rebuilt as a two form entry primary school.

  • Extra Care Housing and Regeneration in Wolverhampton
    05.11.2010 Case Study no. 51 Housing Learning and Improvement Network Housing LIN Extra Care Housing and Regeneration in Wolverhampton This case study describes the housing led regeneration of a specific disadvantaged area of Low Hill in Wolverhampton, which includes 208 new homes including a 64 bed Extra Care apartment scheme and day centre for older people built in the heart of the development. Prepared for the Housing Learning and Improvement Network by Maureen Bradley, Director of Care and Support Accord Housing Association, and Shaun Fielding, Land and Partnership Manager Keepmoat Homes. Background Built in the 1920s, the estate had been in serious decline since the early 1990s. Local manufacturing jobs had disappeared, people left the area and there were few owner occupier properties. The condition of many of the homes had deteriorated and the estate found itself in the worst 1% of areas according to the Indices of Multiple Deprivation. In 2007 the number of elderly people living in Wolverhampton was estimated as over 46,100 with the average life expectancy increasing and looking to continue increasing. The drivers for development of Extra Care Housing and a new day centre within the regeneration included: • The identified need to provide intensive 24 hour care services for frail older people in the north of the city, as a direct alternative to residential care • The presence of an existing day service for older people, the Chris Laws Day Centre, in a Council owned building on the eastern edge of the Showell Park development • The closure of the Dale House Residential Home in Showell Circus and the desire of the local community to see the site reused for older people’s housing 1 Following extensive lobbying by local members of the community Wolverhampton City Council established the New Low Hill Partnership Group (NLHPG) to focus resources on trying to lift Low Hill.
