Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland - Third Statutory Review of Electoral Arrangements I Third Statutory Review of Electoral Arrangements West Dunbartonshire Council Area

Introduction

1. The Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 determined that on and after 1 April 1996, Scotland should be divided into local government areas as named and described in Schedule 1 to the Act and that, for each area, there should be a council consisting of a convener and councillors. It further determined that each council should have all the functions exercised immediately before 1 April in relation to their area by any existing regional, islands or district council.

2. On 1 April 1996 all local government areas existing immediately before that date which were regions and districts and all regional and district councils ceased to exist.

3. Schedule 2 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 also established that every local government area (other than areas of the old islands councils) should be divided into such electoral wards as may be specified in a direction made by the Secretary of State after carrying out such consultations as he considered appropriate. Those wards were to apply for the purpose of any election of councillors held before 'the relevant year of election' (defined as meaning the first year of ordinary election of councillors for the area in question occurring after the making of an order constituting the new electoral wards of that local government area in consequence of the review currently being undertaken by the Commission). In accordance with procedures that applied prior to the reorganisation in 1975, the views of councils were invited. Thereafter, the Secretary of State determined that, for the purpose of any election of councillors before the relevant year of election, 22 electoral wards were appropriate for West Dunbartonshire local government area. Additionally, the proposed wards should be as described in the report of the Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland to the Secretary of State for Scotland on its second statutory review of electoral arrangements for District dated 24 August 1994 (11 wards) and District dated 13 September 1994 (Wards 1-5, 12, 13 and 15 - 17 and that part ofDistrict Ward 14, Balloch and Luss so far as lying within the West Dunbartonshire Council area).

Origin and Commencement of the Review

4. The Commission has a statutory duty under section 14 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 to undertake periodic reviews of local authority electoral arrangements. The Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 amended section 20 and schedule 5 ofthe 1973 Act, directing that:

Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland - Third Statutory Review of Electoral Arrangements 1 as soon as practicable after 1 April 1996, the Boundary Conunission shall-

review the electoral arrangements for all local government areas for the purpose of considering the future electoral arrangements for those areas; and

formulate proposals for those arrangements.

5. This, therefore, is one of the statutory reviews required in terms of section 16(2) and Schedule 5 ofthe Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, as amended.

6. On 22 March 1996, the Scottish Office Development Department gave local authorities advance notice of the intention of the Commission to carry out a third statutory review of electoral arrangements. On 29 March 1996, we wrote to all councils to announce the commencement of the third statutory review of electoral arrangements and to explain the procedures to be followed. We also gave notice of the commencement of the review to all Community COl.mcils, Electoral Registration Officers, Members of Parliament with a constituency interest and the Scottish headquarters of the political parties. In addition, public notice of the commencement ofthe review, which included an invitation to interested parties to apply to us for a copy of our consultation letter to councils, was given in newspapers.

Background

7. During the passage through Parliament of the 1994 Act, there was cross-Party understanding that we would review the number of councillors and boundaries of electoral wards for each council in time for changes to be implemented for the 1999 local elections. This was seen to be important because at the time of reorganisation, as mentioned above, the Secretary of State defined the electoral wards for the new councils and to a great extent based these on existing district wards. It was, however, recognised that using the existing district wards led to some councils being significantly over-represented in relation to other areas. Further, it also led to councillors within the same local authority areas representing wards with significantly different numbers of electors. Accordingly, our review was seen as important to ensure equity in representation across and within a1110cal authorities. Further, the new authorities were now responsible for the provision of the full range of all services and, accordingly, consideration had to be given to determining an appropriate number of councillors for service provision to be effectively managed.

8. This review is, therefore, the first conducted by us which sets out to determine the appropriate number of councillors required for councils to operate efficiently and to establish the boundaries of electoral wards. To achieve both objectives our review was conducted in 2 main stages:

Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland - Third Statutory Review ofElectoral Arrangements 2 identification of a suitable methodology for determining numbers of councillors which, applied across all local authority areas, would be seen to be equitable and consistent; and

the division of each local authority area into the appropriate number of electoral wards in accordance with the statutory rules.

9. A copy of the statutory rules to be employed by us and the Secretary of State in considering proposals for electoral arrangements is provided at Appendix A

Number of Councillors

10. In formulating proposals for the number of councillors we have been guided by two main principles:

effective management of councils; and

equity amongst electors.

11. We recognised that the number of councillors is crucial because there is, undoubtedly, some number below which it would be impossible for a council to discharge its duty to deliver services to its population and, conversely, there is also some number above which a council becomes unwieldy and cumbersome. We were influenced in this respect by the prior considerations oftwo other bodies.

12. The Royal Commission on Local Government In Scotland 1966-69, under the Chairmanship of the Rt. Hon. Lord Wheatley, provided a basis by which the number of regioruU. councillors and the size of constituency to be represented might be determined by taking into account the fact that population density varies widely in Scotland as a whole and within regions. The then accepted view was that council size should not generally exceed 75 members. In England and Wales the Redcliffe-Maude Commission, which reported to Parliament in 1969, also drew attention to the management problems of large councils and endorsed the recommendation ofThe Committee on the Management of Local Government that a maximum number of75 councillors should be set.

13. After careful consideration we concluded that, in the Scottish context and to provide additional flexibility, an upper limit of 80 councillors should be set. We also concluded that a minimum number of councillors should be set, recognising that even the smallest local government areas are now responsible for a wide range of functions. Accordingly, we decided that the minimum number of councillors should be 18. Further, these limits should apply to all councils.

14. Regarding equity as between voters, we considered that ideally each elector's vote should possess the same weight and significance in local government elections throughout the country; furthermore, ideally, there should be similar mutual

if accessibility between electors and cOllllcillors. However, since Scotland is a country of great diversity, both geographically, and demographically, a fact reflected in the areas for which councils created by the Act of 1994 are responsible, and since we are satisfied that, in the interests of good local government, the number of councillors in any council must fall within certain limits, we concluded that these ideals ar~ unattainable in practice. In this situation, recognising that a fair degree of homogeneity exists within certain groups of councils, which exhibit broadly similar geographic and demographic characteristics, we resolved to strive for equity in the senses mentioned within these groups, so far as that is possible within the constraints of the legislation under which we operate.

15. We, therefore, proposed a methodology which initially categorised council areas by density and distribution of population using data available from the 1991 Census of Population. Having classified council areas according to these criteria and adjusted the ratio of electors to each councillor to take account of similar characteristics, we have been able to achieve a broad equity of electorate across and within all council areas.

16. In our letter of 29 March 1996, all councils were infonned of the proposed methodology and future pattern of representation for their council area Councils were requested to make any representations they wished on numbers of councillors by 29 April 1996 so that a meeting could be arranged with the Deputy Chairman and Secretary to discuss the pattern of representation and any matters regarding our review that the Council wished to raise. Following visits to all councils by the Deputy Chainnan and Secretary to discuss the proposed methodology and to consider alternatives which could be applied across Scotland, no alternative methodologies were offered but a number ofcouncils suggested that the underlying classification should be amended to include an additional category.

17. At our meeting of 17 June 1996, we re-examined the criteria to be used to categorise mainland councils with similar characteristics in light of the representations made by a number ofcouncils. We concluded that there should be 6 rather than 5 categories. The final categorisation of similar mainland councils was then agreed as follows:

• Category 1 Large Cities Glasgow and Edinburgh.

• Category 2 Cities Aberdeen and Dundee.

• Category 3 Authorities with less than 600/0 ofthe population living outwith settlements of 10,000 or more persons AND an overall population density ofone person or more per hectare.

• Category 4 Authorities with EITHER 60% or more of the population living outwith settlements of 10,000 or more persons OR an overall population density of less than one person per hectare.

Local GoverameDt Boundary Commission for Scotland· Third Statutory Review ofElectoral Arraagements 4 • Category 5 Authorities with 60% or more of the population living outwith settlements of 10,000 or more persons AND an overall population density ofless than one person per hectare.

• Category 6 Authorities with 60% or more of the population living outwith settlements of 10,000 or more persons AND an overall population density of less than 0.2 persons per hectare.

18. In addition to the 6 categories we then detennined the ratio of councillors to electorate for mainland councils that would allow for efficient management and appropriate representation, as set out in paragraphs 11 - 14 above, and considered that the following would be appropriate:

• Category 1 1:6,000 • Category 2 1:4,000 • Category 3 1:3,500 • Category 4 1 :3,000 • Category 5 1:2,500 • Category 6 1:2,000

19. On 20 June 1996 we wrote to all mainland councils infonning them ofthe revised criteria for detennining councillor numbers and inviting them to prepare a draft scheme of electoral arrangements for their Council area. Following upon that, Aberdeen City Council brought a petition for Judicial Review of the· decision taken by us at our meeting of 17 June, 1996 in the Court of Session. In it they sought a decree of declarator that that decision in relation to them was unlawful, ultra vires and null and void; they also sought a decree ofreduction ofthe decision in relation to them and certain ancillary remedies. We resisted this petition., which was dismissed by the Court on 20 December 1996 after a hearing.

20. We considered the ratio of councillors to electors for the 3 islands councils at our meeting of 26 August 1996 and concluded that the appropriate ratio would be 1 :750. On 28 August 1996 we wrote to these councils informing them of our decision.

21. On 5 September 1996, West Dunbartonshire Council indicated that it would submit a draft scheme of electoral arrangements for 22 wards by the end of September 1996, details of which would be advertised early in October as part of the local consultation process.

West Dunbartonshire Council's Proposals

22. The Council submitted a scheme of electoral arrangements for 22 wards on 8 November 1996 The Council offered its scheme for public consultation on 4 November. Interested parties were invited to make representations to either the Council or the Commission no later than 6 December 1996.

:1 23. In considering the Council's proposals we were concerned that the overall forecast of electorate at 2001 was approximately 75,900, some 4,300 more than our own forecast. We noted that the latest 18+ population projection data available from the General Register Office for Scotland did not lend support to the Council's forecast. Further, we noted that in many wlU'ds there were very significant differences between the number of electors at 1996 and the number forecast at 2001. Accordingly, we instructed officers of the Commission to ascertain the methodology applied by the Council to forecast the expected 2001 electorate at Council and ward levels.

24. We examined the methodology adopted by the Council in preparing its draft scheme of electoral representation and forecasts of electorate. Discussions with Council officials resulted in a downward revision in their forecast ofelectorate for the Council area at 2001. A revised scheme of electorate was prepared by officers of the Commission with assistance from Council staff. Overall, the proposed amended ward structure produced good electoral parity and generally well defined boundaries. We did, however, recognise that the improvements attained could not have been achieved without some impact on perceived community ties but we considered that there would be an opportunity to address local reaction following publication of our provisional proposals.

25. With regard to the Council's draft scheme, only 3 letters were received.

26. GartocharnJK.ilmaronock Community Council wrote to say that it had no comments to make on the proposals.

27. Dumbarton North Community Council expressed its support for the draft scheme proposed by the Council.

28. The third representation set out alternative proposals for wards in the Council area. These alternative proposals suggested a scheme of22 wards with divergence from electoral parity ranging between 30% and -43% compared with 4% and -5% in the revised proposals for the Council area. Because of the very significant divergence from electoral parity in many ofthe alternative wards proposed, we were unable to adopt the suggested revision.

Publication of Commission's Provisional Proposals

29. Public notice was given of the publication of our provisional proposals on 22 July 1997. West Dunbartonshire Council was asked to make available for inspection at its offices copies of the electoral ward boundary descriptions, electoral statistics and illustrative maps. Additionally, copies of our proposals were sent to all who had received our consultation letter or had expressed an interest. We asked that any comments should be made to us by 19 August 1997.

Local Govemmeat Boundary CommissioD for ScotlaDd - Third Statutory Review ofElectoral Arrangements 6 Consideration of Representations

30. Seven representations were received:

• The Council wrote to say that it would not submit a corporate view of our provisional proposals but that elected members would, if so minded, make personal representations through the Director of Economic, Planning and Environmental Services.

• Councillor McCafferty intimated that he agreed with the proposed boundary between Ward 3 and Ward 11 and accepted that a small area around Harris Drive, Harris Crescent and Harris Road should lie within Ward 11 in order to obtain a better balance in the electorate figures.

• Councillor Flynn objected to the proposal that an area in Ladyton should be included in Ward 22. While recognising that if accepted his objection would have an adverse impact on electoral parity, he believed that the Stirling Road was a better boundary and that, locally, this was considered to be more important than the question of electoral parity. Information provided by the Council indicated that the proposed change would significantly alter the electoral parity in Wards 21 and 22 from a balance of -2% in both wards to 6% and -10% respectively. Bearing in mind the primary rule concerning electoral parity and finding no special geographical considerations to justify a modification ofthe rule, we were not able to accept the proposed change.

• Councillor Calvert wrote to object to our proposals for Ward 14. He was of the view that Whiteford Crescent is an integral part of Bellsmyre. The houses are ofthe same construction and appearance as the rest of the estate and the Crescent is adjacent to the present polling station for Ward 14. We noted that none of the electors in the area in question had requested a change to our provisional proposals and that adopting the proposed change would alter the divergence from electoral parity in Wards 13 and 14 from 2% and 4% to 1 % and 6% respectively. Accordingly, we were not able to accept the proposed change.

• Councillor McCallum wished the boundary between Dumbarton Central and Dumbarton West wards to be redrawn to include an area at Castlehill in the latter. To accommodate the proposed change a number of consequential adjustments to the boundaries of Dumbarton West and Dumbarton Central wards would be necessary. We noted that, without these further changes, the impact of the suggested amendment would be to alter the balance of parity between Wards 15 and 16, which was 4% in both areas, to 1% and 7% respectively. We were, therefore, unable to accept the proposed change.

• Community Council wrote to say that our provisional proposals split what it considered to be a cohesive area and fragmented an existing ward for no apparent reason. It contended that our proposals would create an anomaly since the principal polling station for New Bonhill is Ladyton Primary School and the new boundary would mean that residents of Bonhill East ward would have to enter Riverside ward to gain access to the polling station. The Community Council proposed that the boundary of the ward be the realigned Stirling Road and that the consequence of this change on electoral parity would be negligible. In discussing the proposals submitted by Councillor Flynn mentioned above, we concluded that such a change would adversely affect the electoral parity and consequently we were unable to accept the proposed change.

• The Dumbarton Constituency Scottish National Party suggested a number of amendments to our proposals. It considered that the whole of Stewart Street and Stewart Crescent should be placed in Ward 2 rather than be split between Wards 2 and 4. It proposed that Mountblow Road should form the boundary between Wards 2 and 4. It asked that parts of Birch Road and Milton Road in Ward 6 should be transferred to Ward 4 and that the boundary between Wards 5 and 6 be redrawn to include houses in Melford A venue in Ward 5. It suggested that Geils Avenue, Geils Quadrant and numbers 1 - 4 Highmains Avenue be included in Ward 12 rather than Ward 11 on the grounds that our provisional proposals ignored local ties and were at odds with a desire to make Ward 11 a village ward. It also wished to see changes identical to those submitted by Councillor McCallum (see above) implemented. It further suggested that the whole of Drymen Road be placed in either Ward 19 or Ward 20 and proposed that the whole of the area known as Ladyton be included in Ward 21 (see above - Councillor Flynn and Bonhill Community Council).

With regard to the proposals submitted by the Dumbarton Constituency Scottish National Party, we adopted the suggested amendments for the boundaries of Wards 2 and 4, Wards 4 and 6 and Wards 19 and 20 but concluded from an examination of the electorate data provided by the Council that the other changes suggested did not improve the balance of electoral parity achieved in our provisional proposals and in a number of cases had an adverse effect. We noted that, apart from the suggested amendments for Lady ton and Wards 15 and 16 (which were also proposed by Bonhill Community Council and Councillor McCallum respectively), there were no representations from the electorate in the areas concerned to support the alterations requested. Accordingly, we were unable to accept the amendments proposed.

Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland - Third Statutory Review of Electoral Arrangements 1 Final Recommendation
