(Councillor Burns declared a prejudicial interest in item PH/11/38) CC/11/79 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies A report of the Chief Executive was submitted regarding the Boundary Commission for England's (BCE) review of parliamentary boundaries. The BCE was conducting its sixth general review of parliamentary constituencies in England following the enactment of the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act. The Act provided that the number of constituencies in the United Kingdom should be 600, a reduction of 50 from the current number of 650. The Act also provided that the number of constituencies in each of the four nations of the UK should be allocated to each nation in proportion to their registered electorate in December 2010. That gave: Nation Electorate Current Allocation New Allocation Reduction England 38,332,557* 533 500(+2) 31 North Ireland 1,190,635 18 16 2 Scotland 3,873,387** 59 50(+2) 7 Wales 2,281,596 40 30 10 * excluding the electorate of the two Isle of Wight constituencies (110,924). ** excluding the electorate of Orkney and Shetland (33,755) and the Western Isles (21,837) constituencies. In all but the two Isle of Wight constituencies, Orkney and Shetland, and the Western Isles, the electorate of any constituency had to be no less than 72,810 and no more than 80,473. The report explained how the constraints had been applied to constituencies across the North West and in Greater Manchester. In applying these constraints, the effect of the BCE proposals on the existing constituencies in Manchester resulted in nine Manchester wards changing to a different constituency, affecting 27% of the electorate in Manchester. The proposed changes were: Blackley And Broughton gains Moston and Miles Platting & Newton Heath from Manchester Central and loses Charlestown to Middleton. The Salford wards of Broughton and Kersal remain in the seat. Page 4 Manchester City Council Minutes City Council Meeting 12 October 2011 Manchester Central loses Moston and Miles Platting & Newton Heath to Blackley and Broughton and Ardwick and Moss Side to Manchester Gorton, but gains 4 Salford wards from Salford and Eccles – Irwell Riverside, Langworthy, Ordsall, and Weaste & Seedley Manchester Gorton gains Ardwick and Moss Side from Manchester Central and loses Fallowfield and Whalley Range to Manchester Withington Manchester Withington gains Fallowfield and Whalley Range from Manchester Gorton, and loses Didsbury East and Didsbury West to Wythenshawe Wythenshawe gains Didsbury East and Didsbury West, and loses the Trafford Wards of Brooklands and Priory to Altrincham and Sale (Sale Moor remains in the Wythenshawe seat) Middleton contains 6 Rochdale wards currently in Heywood and Middleton, and 2 Oldham wards currently in Oldham West and Royton, as well as Charlestown ward.

  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.
