PROPOSALS FOR THE FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE COUNTY OF AVON
1. The last Ci-der under Section 51 of the Local Government Act 1972 in relation to electoral arrangements for districts in the County of Avon was made on 4 March 1980. AH required by Section 63 and Schedule 9 of the Act we hnve now reviev/ed the electoral arrangements for that county, using the procedures we had set out in our Report No 6.
2. We informed the Avon County Council in a consultation letter dated 25 March I960 thot we proposed to conduct the review, and sent copiera of the letter to the district councils, parish councils and parish meetings in the county, to the Members of Parliament representing the constituencies concerned, to the headquarters of the main political parties and to the editors both of local newspapers circulating in the county and of the local government press. Notices in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies,
3.1, On 16 May 1980 the County Council submitted to us a draft scheme in which they suggested ?6 electoral divisions for the county, each returning one member in accordance with Section 6(2)(a) of the Act. k.\ We considered this scheme together with the views expressed by local interests. On 1? August 1980 we issued draft proposals which we sent to all those who had received our consultation letter, or commented on the County Council's draft scheme. Notices were inserted in the local press announcing that the draft proposals had been issued and could be inspected at theC ounty Council's offices.
5. After giving careful consideration to the Avon County Labour Party's alternative .scheme for .the county as a whole (apart from Bristol) and other comments we had received, we decided to incorporate the County Council's draft scheme in our draft proposals subject to the following modifications:
(a) City of Bath
We adopted Avon County Labour Party*s suggested rearrangement of the city wards in five of the County Council's proposed divisions for the City. In accordance with the terms of the Act we chose names for the divisions rather than the numbered divisions suggested.
(b) Uorthavon District
We adopted Patchway Parish Council's suggestion that the Stoke Gifford North district ward should be transferred from the Patchway division to the Filton division,
(c) Woodspring District
We adopted the North Somerset Division of the Liberal Party's suggestion that the parish of Portbury should be transferred from the Portishead division to the Gordano Valley division.
6. We received comments in response to our draft proposals from the Avon.County Council^ four district councils, 8 parisk councils, thirteen political paxty 6rganisati6ns, threeotfaar organisations and two private individuals. A full list of those who wrote to us is given at Appendix 1 to this report.
7. The County Council felt that our draft proposals, were, satisfactory, subject to the amendment of two minor errors in the descriptions of boundaries affecting four divisions in the City of Bath'.
8. The Avon County Labour Party expressed disappointment that their schemes for Kingswood, Northavon, Wansdyke and Woodspring Districts hnd not been adopted and wished for evidence in favour of then to bo given at a local meeting. They stated that their members felt very strongly that many of the suggestions of the County Council were based more upon grounds of political advantage than on the interests of the local community. They also argued that, since the new wards for the City of Bristol did not come into effect until 1983, introduction of new arrangements for the county in May 19&1 would cause further confusion for many of the electors in the City of Bristol, particularly should by-elections for the City Council occur between May 1981 and Hay 1983* They therefore believed the proper .time for introduction of new County Council divisions would be in May 1983. Similar representations were received from the Bristol City Council, Kingswood Constit- uency Labour Party, Bristol N*0rth East Labour Party, Kastville Branch of Bristol North East Labour Party and Brislington Branch Labour Party.
9. The other comments we received were as follows:-
(a) City of Bath Bath City Council stated that they did not wish to pursue their earlier proposition of 8 electoral divisions. ('Ve had considered this previously but had felt unable to incorporate it in our draft proposals as it would have led to the City of Bath being over-represented as compared with other districts.) The City Council were however strongly opposed to the names of our proposed divisions and drew our attention, as the County Council hnd done, to two minor errors in the descriptions of the Oldfield/i^outhdown and Abbey/Lansdown division boundaries.
(b) Kingswood District Kingswood Central Branch of the Labour Party and one private individual objected to our draft proposals for the whole of the district. Hanham and District Branch of the Labour Party and another private individual objected to our proposed Bitton division. Siston Branch Labour Party widhed to revert to the Avon County Labour Party's suggestions.for the Siston, Downend and Rodway divisions. Cadbury Heath and Longwell Green Branch of Kingswood Constituency Labour Party objected to our proposed Siston and Longwell Green divisions and the Chairman of Downend and Mangotsfield Residents'Association submitted alternative proposals for the Downend and Rodway divisions.
(c) Northavon District
Horthavon District Council had no objections to our draft proposals. Stoke Gifford PHrish Council submitted alternative surgestions for the Filton and Winterbourne divisions as did Filton Local LatourParty who also objected to our proposed Patchway division. Iron Acton Parish Council and Frampton Cotterell Parish Council both objected to our proposed Ladderi Brook division and the latter parish council submitted alternative sxggeetLons for the Winterbourne division.
(d) Wansdyke District
Dunkerton Parish Council submitted alternative suggestions for the Raustock division.
(e) WoodsprinK District
The Woodspring District Council and Weston-super-Mare Civio Society both objected i to the choice of names for our proposed divisions in Ueston-super-Mare. Easton- i in-Gordano Parish Council had no objections to our proposed Gordano Valley division. Council, . The -veston-super-Mare Constituency Labour Party, Yattpn Parish Council, Kenn Paris*/ Clevedon Co-operative Party and Yatton Labour Party all objected to our proposed
Yatton and Yeo M0or division, as did the Association of Clevedon Residents and Ratepayers who also objected to our proposed Clevedon division. Nailsea Town Council were in agreement with our proposed Nailsea division. i 10. In considering the representations made to us in favour of holding a public meeting and deferring any changes until 1983* we examined with care the consequences of holding the 1981 elections under the present arrangements as compared with those that would result from implementing our draft proposals. On the basis of the 1980 electorate the position is as follows:-
(i) With the present County Council of 73, Woodspring and Northavon Districts would be under-represented by.2 members and 1 member respectively and Kingswood District marginally so by 1 member. The City of Bristol and Wansdyke District would be over-represented by 2. members and 1 member respectively. With our proposed 76 member council all 'districts would be correctly represented apart from a very slight over-representation of the City of Bristol by 1 member to secure compat- ibility with the, new city district wards. (ii) In the City of Bristol 9 of the existing single member divisions would have electorates more than 2O,1'- above or below the average, ranging from 3*950 to 13,101; the six ?-member divisions would range from 13t6^5 to 2(7,728. Under our proposals all divisions would be within ,?0f:' of the average and only 5 outside 10?').
(iii) In ,the remainder of the county 13 existing divisions would be outside 2C# of the average, ranging from 6,^11 to l6,*tG2. Under our proposals there would be only 2 such divisions.
11. It was clear therefore'that to hold the 1981 elections under the existing arrangements would lead to very considerable inequalities in the representation of both districts and divisions. These inequalities would be almost entirely eliminated if our proposals were implemented for 19'3l *;nd a similar standard of representation would be achieved in the 1985 elections on the basis of the electorate forecasts we had been given. It Is not for us to determine the dates on which new electoral arrangements should be implemented, but we have thought it right to. put • forward our proposals immediately so. that new arrangements could, if you thought fit, be implemented in time for the 1981 elections; this would not be possible if a public meeting were to be held. Although a local meeting might have enabled some relatively minor improvements to be made we were satisfied that we hai sufficient information to make final proposals that would be in the interests of effective and convenient local government.
12. In reassessing our draft proposals in the light of all the. written comments we had received we came to the following conclusions:-
(a) City of Bnth
Apart from correcting the minor errors :n the boundary descriptions affecting four divisions, we decided to adopt the name changes put forward by Bath City Council for all our proposed divisions in the City as follows:-
Dr^ft y'roposals:; jiame N_e_w_ name
Abbey B--.th Central Bnthwick J3'\th South East Lansdown B'tth Worth East Lyncombc Bnth .South Newbridge Bath North West Oldficld B-'>th South .Vest Southdown Butn West (b) KinKswood District
Our draft proposals in respect of this district were identic?,! with the County Council's* draft scheme. Of the seven specific objections we received, five offered no alternative solutions, one was a reiteration of views expressed by the County Lobour Party about the County Council's draft scheme, and the only other objection which put forward firm suggestions was in part a repetition of previously expressed views. The alternative scheme for the Siston, Dnwnend and Rodway divisions put forward originally an part of the Avon County Labour Party's comments on the County Council's draft scheme was urged on us by the Siston Labour Party in their comments on our draft proposals. It did not offer any better standard of representation than our draft proposals; the argument advanced in support of it was that it better reflected local ties. "The Downend and Mangotsfield Residents' Association h.nd also argued for a rearrangement of the divisions in this part of the district to take more account of the community of interest between the district wards. The alternative that the Association put forward showed an inferior balance of representations to our draft proposals and for that reason we did not find it acceptable. Their arguments,about localities however ran counter to those advanced in support of the County Labour Party's alternative. Since there was clearly room for differing views about local ties, and no numerical advantage in either of the alternatives, we came to the conclusion that we had been right to" adopt the draft scheme as our draft •proposals and that we should adhere to that decision.
(c) Northavon District
i Several alternative suggestions were submitted for a rearrangement of the district wards within our proposed Filton, Ladden Brook, Patchway and VJinterbourne divisions but cnch WAG numerically poorer than our own draft proposals and for this reason we did not regard them as acceptable. We looked again at the suggestions put forward by the County Labour Party in their comments on the County Council's draft .-scheme. Our draft proposals had included seven divisions which corresponded exactly to ones advocated by the County Labour Party. The i remaining two divisions of our draft proposals, oodbury and rtfick, were more evenly balanced than the two remaining ones, Badminton and Wick, advocated by the County Labour Party and we saw no reason to change our own proposals.
(d) Wansdyke District
Dunkerton Parish Council asked that they be transferred out of our proposed Hndstock division into either the Bathavon division or Keynsham Sast but as this would also entail transferring the adjacent parish of Englishcombe from which we had received no comments we decided to' adhere to our .draft proposals.
We also looked again at the suggestions for thistdistrict .which the Avon County Labour Party put forward in their.comments on the County Council's draft scheme. Although the Labour Party suggestions were numerically acceptable they included one division in which one constituent parish was physically separated fron the rest of the division. We could see no reason to prefer this arrangement to our draft proposals, while to absorb the separated parish in the surrounding division would have produced an inferior standard of representation.
(e) Woodspring District We decided to adopt the name changes for some of our proposed divisions put forward by the Woodsprlng District Council and .by the Weston-super-Mare Civic Society. These were that our proposed Wrington Vale division should be renamed Winscombe and Vrington Vale; and that our proposed K.istcortbe, Southcombe, Westcombe and Weston Bay divisions should be renamed Weston East, Weston South, Weston North and Weston West respectively. Several objections were received concerning our proposed Yatton and Yeo Moor division and one also concerned the Clave don division, but .only one suggestion was new. The Intter was numerically markedly inferior to our draft proposals. We appreciated the reasons for the objections to our proposed Yatton and Yeo Moor division and recognised that it is likely to become unduly large by 1985* On the other hand Clevedon is too larjre to constitute a single division and is too small to justify two. Some part of it must therefore be detached, and the alternative arrangements for five of the divisions suggested by the County labour Party and others would have produced a Clevedon division as large as Yatton and Yeo Moor, with a generally less even distribution of the electorate among the other divisions affected. We therefore preferred the solution suggested by the County Council and decided to confirm our draft proposals for this district.
13- We decided, in the light of the conclusions set out in paragraphs 11 and 12 above, to confirm our draft proposals as our final proposals for the county, subject to the name changes in the City of Bath and the Woodspring District described in paras I2(a) and 12(e) and the amended division descriptions in the City of Bath.
1*t. Details of the final proposals are set out in Schedules 1 and ?. to this report and on the attached map. Schedule 1 gives the names of the electoral divisions. A detailed description of the boundaries of the proposed electoral divisions, as defined on the map, is set out in Schedule 2. PUBLICATION
