    Parish and town council submissions to the Leicestershire County Council electoral review This PDF document contains submissions from parish and town councils. Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. Fuller, Heather From: Mayers, Mishka on behalf of reviews Sent: 16 December 2015 09:26 To: Owen, David Subject: FW: Barkby & Barkby Thorpe Parish Council From: Sent: 15 December 2015 18:40 To: reviews <[email protected]> Subject: Barkby & Barkby Thorpe Parish Council Barkby and Barkby Thorpe Parish Council endorses the changes proposed for county council electoral boundaries. The council recognises that Barkby and Barkby Thorpe will in future be joined with Thurmaston rather than Queniborough and villages to the north. Given that outline planning permission has been given for the 4500 houses North East of Leicester SUE which will be built across the parish council boundaries of Thurmaston and Barkby there is a logic to the changes as our villages in the future will be more closely linked to Thurmaston although the current disparity in populations between the two parishes does give rise to the fear that the interests of our villages and hamlets could be outweighed by the interests of the urban fringe. The parish council wishes to point out that the proposed changes can only be temporary. They will have to redrawn again to ensure fairness in the size of the divisions once the SUE population gets into the low thousands. Regards Carla Cunningham-Atkins Clerk to Barkby & Barkby Thorpe Parish Council 1 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 Leicestershire County Personal Details: Name: Chris Peat E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Carlton Parish Council Comment text: Carlton Parish Council strongly supports these recommendations.
