Response to Local Government Boundary Commission for ’s Draft Recommendations for South District Council for 2018

Submission by Mike Lewis on behalf of the Conservative Group of District Council (SSDC) ______Prior to the closing date of 30th October 2017, the Conservative Group of SSDC commented on all the Ward boundaries within South Somerset by providing: maps, a statistical basis for each ward to create electoral equality and a reasoning paper in support of our ward recommendations.

When the Commissioners published the draft recommendations on 9th January 2018, our reasoning paper for each ward had been omitted from the draft. We immediately notified the Commissioners. Although appendix C acknowledged a Conservative submission and paragraphs 56, 66, 81 and 91 acknowledged at least twelve paragraphs, it stated that the only submission was from the SSDC officers, and individuals or parishes and not from the Conservative Group. Consequently it did not give the public an opportunity to consider the Conservative submission.

The Commissioners only placed our full documentation on the LGBCE website on 15th February, which was 37 days after the publication of the draft recommendations! This meant that for more than 5 weeks, your website did not provide the submission in full, neither did it achieve the transparency of submissions you were seeking for the public at large. It was even stated, incorrectly, that the Conservative Group had not provided any evidence to support their submission.

It is worth mentioning that the statistical part of our submission on a spreadsheet supplied all the percentage variations for each ward in SSDC. The comment column gave facts as to any parishes that were being moved, and the supporting evidence which was crucial to the argument, was simply omitted. The latter had in effect been hidden from public scrutiny for more than 5 weeks, by which time most people had formed their revised opinions without it.

As a Conservative Group, we are now responding to your draft recommendations with that evidence, but amending it in the light of the LGBGCE’s and officers’ recommendations.

Our proposal is for 14 x 2 member wards and 30 single member wards, with no 3 member wards. Although 3 member wards can provide cover if one member falls ill, we do not favour them because generally one member tends to work more than others; and where 3 members are from different parties, a ward of 3 x 2,293 electors is a huge number of which to be aware.

5 March 2018 Page 1

Where the Conservative group have a proposal, we have added a ‘C’ as a prefix to the LGBCE numbering system, eg 35 becomes C35. Where we agree with the recommendation, we refer to the Ward with the plain number, for example 34 for .

We agree to the LGBCE recommendations for the following 13 wards:

34 Bruton 44 Northstone Option 1 47 Turnhill 48 Wessex 71 Coker 77 Parrett 78 Hamdon & St Michael 79 81 – 90 Chard (5 wards)

We agree with the SSDC Officers’ recommendations for: C56 Eggwood NB in this case, the officers’ recommendation C64 Windwhistle NB in this case, the officers’ recommendation

34 Bruton We agree with the LGBCE and officers’ recommendation to keep the status quo.

C35 Cary We agree with one of the District Councillors that should remain within the Cary Ward because of its historical links with Cary. The “Catsash Hundred” ran from Cary to Babcary. It was referred to in the Subsidy of 1334 and was a royal administrative unit.

Currently Babcary are working with Carymoor Parish Council and Town Council on the water quality of the River Cary.

The dualling of the A303 between and will separate Babcary from the villages to the south in Ward, whereas virtually the whole of Cary ward is to the north of the A303.

Babcary is served through Avon and Somerset Constabulary via North Community Support officers. If Babcary is moved to Camelot Ward, then the police support would be part of a completely different police structure of Wincanton South.

North Cadbury and currently form and Yarlington Parish Council. Para 112 page 32 of the Local Government Boundary Commission states, “The Schedule provides that … each parish ward lies wholly within a single ward.” Moreover Galhampton and

5 March 2018 Page 2

Woolston come within “North Cadbury and Yarlington Parish Council”. The Parish Councillors have challenged the proposal to split the parishes. We therefore propose that North Cadbury and Yarlington remain together reflecting community identities and interests, in the Cary Ward, and not split between Cary and Camelot.

Importantly, keeping Babcary, North Cadbury and Yarlington within the Cary ward would unlock the difficulties over the knock-on changes to Camelot and Blackmoor Vale.

Although close to maximum, Cary would still have only 2,504 for each of the two councillors: +9.2%

C36 Camelot Camelot at present has 2400 electors and +4%: a good total in every respect.

The Commissioners recommend in their draft removing and from Camelot, in line with the officers’ recommendation, and adding Babcary. Doing so makes the total electors 1975 and -16%, a long way outside tolerance.

There is no mention in paragraphs 36 (Camelot), 38 Blackmoor Vale and ), 39 (re and ), nor in the Officers’ recommendations, of:  and Sutton Montis (both currently in Cary)  Blackford and (a currently in Blackmoor Vale).

It is only when one views the map that the proposed boundary changes become apparent. The map says:  North and South Cadbury would be split  South Cadbury, Sutton Montis, and Blackford and Compton Pauncefoot would move from Blackmoor Vale to Camelot That does not make for good governance, especially as there is very little linkage for Blackford and Compton Pauncefoot with Camelot.

The map and the text are not aligned.

Rimpton Parish Council and some residents have argued strongly that there is a strong connection between Rimpton and where the Medical Centre, school and shop provide many of the services needed by the electors of Rimpton.

Marston Magna is adjacent to Queen Camel on the A359, on the main road to .

5 March 2018 Page 3

Adding South Cadbury, and Blackford and Compton Pauncefoot would add 390, bringing the Camelot total to 2365 and +3%.

On the map the Commissioners evidently recommend removing Marston Magna and Rimpton from Camelot, in line with the officers’ recommendation, and adding: Babcary, South Cadbury, Sutton Montis, and Blackford and Compton Pauncefoot, bringing the Camelot total to 2365 and +3%, but with a change for seven communities. That is very disruptive for a settled group of villages.

South Cadbury and Sutton Montis should be placed in the Blackmore Vale ward; and Blackford and Compton Pauncefoot should remain within the Blackmore Vale ward. South Cadbury and Sutton Montis were moved from the Cary Division of the County Council to the Blackmore Vale only last time in 2013, so a South Cadbury resident would have moved from Blackmore Vale to Cary and then have to move to Camelot. This is very disruptive and does not encourage community links. At least the District and County Council boundaries would be aligned for the Blackmore Vale by placing South Cadbury and Sutton Montis in this ward.

C37 Tower and Wincanton Tower ward is one of the most if not the most rural ward in South Somerset and if merged with Wincanton, it would be dominated by the urban sprawl of Wincanton which is one of the largest market towns in South Somerset. Bruton is the magnet for many residents in Tower ward, not Wincanton. Merging the two wards is highly unlikely to change that pattern. One of the parishes in Tower ward, , adjoins Bruton and is closer to Castle Cary than to Wincanton; making very poor linkage. One of the ward councillors and individuals have commented on the poor governance that would happen if Tower and Wincanton became a 3 member ward since the parishes within Tower would become dominated by having 3 councillors attending parish council meetings. The view of many in Tower Ward and ours [Wincanton] is to retain a single member ward for Tower and a 2 member ward for Wincanton, thus retaining good governance.

C38, C39, C40 Blackmoor Vale and Milborne Port. Blackmoor Vale is very rural in nature, and the A357 spine road links the villages of the vale, stretching from Holton in the north to Henstridge in the south. Many residents within the Blackmore Vale attend the Doctor’s surgery in Stalbridge (south of Henstridge).

The three Primary schools in the Blackmore Vale at Horsington, Charlton Horethorne and Abbas and provide a community focus throughout the Blackmore Vale for the younger generation.

5 March 2018 Page 4

Milborne Port is much larger than many of the villages put together, having 2435 electors. Alone, it is within the tolerance at +6%. It has a bigger school of its own. To add villages to Milborne Port to make a two- member ward, would disadvantage the added villages.

Para 39 gives no indication as to whether would remain in the Blackmoor Vale since the officers’ proposals assume that it is within Camelot ward which it is not. To reach Ivelchester ward the electors travelling south by road would pass through to reach the outskirts of Rimpton. Corton Denham should stay in the Blackmore Vale.

Neither does the proposal for Blackford and Compton Pauncefoot make it clear that the map recommendation is to move the parish away from the Blackmore Vale, breaking the ties that these rural villages have built up over the centuries. Blackford and Compton Pauncefoot should stay in the Blackmore Vale.

The settlement of Milborne Port has very much its own identity whereas the Blackmore Vale is made up of a network of smaller parishes including Charlton Horethorne, providing a network of community support and good governance.

The recommendations by the officers and the Commissioners for the two wards do not provide transparent evidence nor good governance. We support the parishes and individuals who wish the current representation and boundaries to continue so as to provide strength of unity and good governance. Our recommendation is that the ward of Blackmore Vale should remain a two member ward and Milborne Port should remain a one member ward. Status Quo.

41 Burrow Hill The view of the current ward member for Burrow Hill is that moving Barrington, and to neighbouring wards and including Drayton, in Burrow Hill will only make a 1% difference from 10 to 9 %. We agree with Burrow Hill remaining a single member ward, but question the proposed parish changes.

C42 , Huish and

Huish Episcopi has a greater number of electors than Langport, but we recognise that to call the ward “Curry Rivel, Huish and Langport”, is somewhat unwieldy.

5 March 2018 Page 5

We support the creation of this two member ward for Curry Rivel, Huish and Langport - or a suitable shorter name.

We agree with the proposals from Parish Council and the Officers, that Wearne should be moved from Turn Hill to Huish Episcopi. This would reunite the whole parish of Huish Episcopi and create a two member ward.

C44 Northstone We agree with the Officers’ Option 1 of moving Kingsdon in to the single member ward of Ivelchester, see para C80; thus retaining the single member ward of Northstone.

47 Turn Hill We agree with the recommendation of retaining this as a single member ward, having moved Wearne to reunite the Parish of Huish Episcopi see C42.

48 Wessex Agreed.

C49 Blackdown, and and Forton We understand that the current councillors for Blackdown, and Tatworth and Forton along with a number of Parish Councils and individuals have argued for the retention of the existing single member wards. The greatest argument for retaining this electoral arrangement is that there is no natural linkage particularly in roads between the two wards. You have to travel through Chard to connect Blackdown with Tatworth and vice versa. The communities in both wards do not naturally align, especially which is isolated west of the A303 at the dangerous crossroad at the Eagle Tavern.

Our recommendation is to retain the existing boundaries and the single member representation for the existing wards of Blackdown and Tatworth and Forton as recommended by the local councillors, Parish Councils and individuals.

C50 Having proposed single member wards for Crewkerne, and taking into account that Chard is larger than Crewkerne and yet has single member wards, we are naturally disappointed to see that the Commissioners recommended a 3-member ward.

We do not support the proposals for Crewkerne and strongly suggest our earlier recommendation for single member wards. We also await the response from local individuals in the community.

C56 Eggwood We agree with the Officers’ recommendation that should be added to Eggwood and Dinnington to Windwhistle to improve electoral equality.

5 March 2018 Page 6

C60 Islemoor The comments from the councillor for Burrow Hill para C41 applies.

C61 The comments from the councillor for Burrow Hill para C41 applies.

64 Windwhistle We agree with the Officers’ recommendation with the addition of Dinnington.

C66 and Neroche The Commissioners having rejected our proposals, we are awaiting more responses from the local communities; but we contend that the villages of Neroche ward are far more rural than Ilminster, and therefore should be represented separately. We do not accept that a 3-member ward would create better governance for these current wards. We still recommend that Neroche be a single- member ward, and Ilminster a two-member ward.

71 Coker We accept the argument that should remain in the Coker ward and that should move to Parrett.

77 Parrett We agree with the proposal to retain the existing boundary for Parrett ward with the addition of Hardington Mandeville.

78 Hamdon and St. Michael Having reviewed our original proposal, we accept the joining of these into a two member ward with the addition of .

79 Martock We agree with retaining the existing boundary for this two member ward.

C80 Ivelchester We consider that this should be a single member ward of 2345 electors and +2%, consisting of Ilchester, Kingsdon and (which includes Podimore). This provides a little space for some of the anticipated growth in that area.

Limington, and to move to , making 5000 in that two-member ward; +8%.

Kingsdon is on the edge of Northstone. The primary route from Kingsdon is via the B3151 north to Somerton / Street and south to Ilchester / Yeovil, rather than via the other parishes in Northstone.

The Royal Naval Air Station at Yeovilton is the largest employer in South Somerset, with a number of their personnel being registered as South Somerset electors. The land to the north of Podimore has recently been put forward as part of the Local Plan for a Garden Town development of

5 March 2018 Page 7

some 15,000 houses. This would potentially change the electoral dynamics of this area.

We ask you to consider seriously your proposals for Ivelchester in the light of the significance that Yeovilton and Podimore could play in the future.

81 – 90 Chard We agree with the principle of retaining single member wards and the minor amendments to provide the wards in Chard with electoral equality, as outlined in the Commissioners’ draft recommendations.

C91 – C110 Yeovil We spent days and days creating electoral equality for Yeovil within single and two-member wards in our submission. We were unaware that one of the criteria was to reduce the number of wards and increase the number of three-member wards.

We cannot support the proposal for three member wards, which would dominate the other 66% of the District. Our earlier proposals, see spreadsheet, still stand to create better electoral equality and good governance within two and single member wards.
