2 1) Introduction

This Report is the CONSERVATIVE BOUNDARY REVIEW SUBMISSION

Buckinghamshire County Council is currently represented by 57 Councillors elected to 47 Divisions (there being 10 Divisions that are represented by 2 councillors in each) and each Councillor represents approximately 6,800 residents.

This review was triggered by The Local Government Boundary Commission who pointed out that 30% of the Divisions within the County were outside the variance allowed of 10% of the average electorate per member. Although we made representations to the contrary the Local Government Boundary Commission informed the County Council that they have started and will finish. At the same time of all this happening we had started the Bucks Debate across the County where a common message from the residence of Buckinghamshire was that we should make savings where possible, they had heard that Transformation was making tremendous savings and there were suggestions that we as members should also lead by example. So when we discussed this at the November County Council Meeting, I proposed a recommendation that we should reduce the number of members by eight at the next election in 2013 from 57 to 49. This was passed by the full Council and when we informed the Boundary Commission they said they were minded to agree.

Therefore by working within the Conservative Group within the County I have come up with the revised Divisions for the County taking into account 49 members, 49 Divisions therefore disposing of the Divisions that had two members in each of them.

Therefore if the residence of Bucks were currently divided between 49 members it would give a County average of 7,787.

This paper has already been submitted to the Local Government Boundary Commission to fit within their Consultation period and if agreed today will be resubmitted as the County Council response

Looking to the year 2017, which is the year the Commission wants us to work to, it will give us an average electorate of 8,113 per member at County level but bearing in mind that no Divisions can span over any District Boundaries, this means that we have to work with different averages in each of the Districts, so taking that into account the average electorate in each District in 2017 are as follows:

• = 8,277. 17 members, 19 current – 2 less • Chiltern = 8,147. 9 members, 11 current – 2 less • South Bucks = 7,700. 7 members, 8 current - 1 less • Wycombe = 8,102. 16 members, 19 current - 3 less.

This will be presented by me to County Council on 21st April as Cabinet Member for member issues and also as Chairman of the County Conservative Group.

4 3) Names of Electoral Divisions with electorate figures The numbers at the start of the table below refer to the number on the above map (section 2), followed by the electoral division names, electorate numbers for 2010 and 2017, and the percent that each division varies from the average electorate for Buckinghamshire as at 2010 and 2017. Note that the % variance from the average electorate for each district also appears in section 5.

Electoral divisions have been designed to reach electoral equality as at 2017 (where possible), explanations for the variations appear in the next section (4).

Average Electorate 2010 2017 County average electorate (49 Councillors) 7,787 8,113 5 4) Reasons and explanations behind the Electoral Divisions

Aylesbury Vale District Divisions

The underlying principle of the revised boundaries was to keep similar communities together whilst achieving electoral equality for each division, which is as close to the average electorate as possible for the County and for this District at 2017.

This can be seen in joining together Elm Farm & Mandeville with some of ; and Oakfield with the rest of Bedgrove & Elmhurst.

Watermead is separate from Aylesbury town, the residents very much think of themselves as a separate community, which is why it was separated from Elmhurst.

Gatehouse and were joined together as they are of a similar demographic, as are & Hawkslade, and Coldharbour which is why we believe they will work well together as 3 new divisions, as the councillors will represent similar areas, which will have similar issues.

In the rural areas of Aylesbury Vale we have mainly kept to Parish boundaries, while respecting Ward Boundaries where possible.

We have also included the area in the Grendon Underwood Division to take account of the increase in housing. Although this will be our largest Division, it will be up to market forces as to the scale of the extra housing in the area - bearing in mind the current uncertainty regarding the Local Housing Plan and the current state of the Economy i.e. the lack of housing demand due to the recession.

Winslow Division is 10% lower than the average for the County. It could have been made bigger by adding in some of the Claydons to the Division, but there is a strong history connecting all of the Claydons together and they have always have been seen as one overall identity, so we did not split them up.

Wycombe District Divisions

Firstly we will concentrate on the Wycombe Divisions in the Aylesbury Parliamentary Constituency. The principle reasons relating to the selection of three (from the current four seats) in the northern rural Divisions forming part of Wycombe District is to maintain geographical community and continuity between parishes, whilst achieving electoral equality for each division, which is as close as possible to the average electorate for the County and for this District as at 2017.

This has been achieved by bringing Hughenden, and with Bradenham, Hampden and Ellesbourough together; extending and with Kimble and and moulding , and Speen with neighbouring cum , and Stockenchurch to form the three Divisions of: Ridgeway East; The Risboroughs ; and Ridgeway West, therefore removing “the ring” around Princes Risborough that was created at the last review.

This achieves a balanced electorate for each division and maintains the continuity for the communities.

We will now move our concentration to the Divisions in the Wycombe Parliamentary Constituency.

As well as community Identity and electoral equality, the overall principle we have worked to is that we wanted, as far as we could, to retain the electoral areas already in place both at County and District level. Obviously, it is not possible for this to happen in all instances due to the reduction in the number of Divisions.

6 You will see we often refer to the Wycombe District Council (WDC) ward boundaries which were in previous existence (boundaries were changed in 2003).

Abbey The WDC Abbey ward, + new polling district from HF Booker & Cressex, to achieve the electoral quota. The new polling district includes electors who used to be in the pre-2003 Cressex & Frogmoor ward (the precursor of Abbey)

Booker, Cressex & Castlefield The WDC Oakridge & Castlefield ward + electors from Booker & Cressex. Pre-2003 there was a WDC ward called Booker & Castlefield.

Chiltern Villages The WDC Valley, Greater Marlow wards + a substantial part of the RA polling district from Chiltern Rise ward. The RA polling district has to be split to make the electoral quota.

Downley The WDC wards of Downley & Plomer Hill and Disraeli

Hazlemere The WDC wards of North and Hazlemere South

Micklefield & Hatters Lane The WDC ward of Micklefield + HX polling district + new polling district in The Marsh from the Ryemead ward to achieve the electoral quota. Pre-2003 there was a WDC ward called Marsh and Micklefield

Although this give us a Division that is forecast to be 10% below the County Average at 2017, it is only 7% below the average at present, and the electorate forecasts do not take into account the ethnic make- up of this area which could make a difference in the overall numbers by 2017

Rye View The WDC ward of Bowerdean + HW polling district + electors from the Ryemead ward. Pre-2003 there was a WDC ward called Bowerdean and Daws Hill.

Terriers & Amersham Hill The WDC ward of Terriers & Amersham Hill + new polling district from Ryemead, to achieve the electoral quota

Tylers Green & Loudwater The WDC ward of Tylers Green & Loudwater + new polling district from Ryemead, to achieve the electoral quota.

West Wycombe The WDC ward Sands + new polling district from HE Booker & Cressex + part RA Lane End + RC West Wycombe + RB Piddington + polling district. AP (Beacons Bottom). This division is not too dissimilar to a substantial part of the current , Radnage and West Wycombe division. Pre-2003 there was a WDC ward called West Wycombe and Sands.

Finally we will look at the Electoral Divisions within the Beaconsfield Parliamentary Constituency in Wycombe District.

The three Divisions of Marlow; Flackwell Heath, Little Marlow and Marlow South East and finally The Wooburns, Bourne End and Hedsor have been determined by the electoral variance rule of the Local Government Boundary Commission.

Chiltern District Divisions

The geographical landscape with the hills and valleys and the shape of the road system, especially around Chesham, restricts the configuration of the Divisions in this District area.

This achieves electoral equality for each Division, which is as close as possible to the County and District average electorate at 2017.

The four Divisions of: Chalfont St Peter; Chalfont St Giles; Great Missenden; and Amersham and Chesham Bois are natural divisions based on their parish council boundaries.

Penn Wood and Old Amersham This Division is closely identified by the A 404 trunk road where the communities lie either side of the road.

Chiltern Ridges This is the north-western side of Chesham and the villages linked to it by the B roads leading out of Chesham to the villages of Chartridge, Asheridge and Bellingdon.

Chesham Most of the Town is kept together in one Division. This includes the Town Centre and the settlement on the eastern slopes of the valley.

Amersham East Amersham Common, part of Amersham polling district C and Little Chalfont are a continuous settlement along the main road A404 east of Amersham. They are completely linked by this road. Until 2007, Little Chalfont was part of Amersham parish.

Chess Valley This keeps the existing Chess Valley communities together with an addition of residents from Townsend ward and Hawridge partly for numbers reasons, but also because the settlements are adjacent.

South Bucks District Divisions

An examination of the proposed division boundaries will show that the numbers are extremely well balanced, which achieves electoral equality for each Division, which is as close as possible to the County and District average electorate at 2017.

Most of the communities are contained within their own divisions. The only sub-divisions of communities are to balance numbers.

Denham Community wholly kept in one division.

Iver With the exception of Iver West Polling District Parish almost all is kept in one division

Beaconsfield Majority of Town in one division save only a small piece joined with Gerrards Cross for “numbers” reason

Gerrards Cross as above

8 Cliveden clear community interest preserved

Stoke Poges two villages kept undivided by this arrangement

Farnham Common and Burnham Beeches Suits the electorate numbers and Farnham Common and share churches, schools and shops, and Farnham Common and Burnham Beeches share the Beeches park.

9 5) Geographies that make up each Electoral Division by district The following tables show the geographic make-up for each proposed division. Divisions are made up of a combination of parishes, wards or polling districts (new or existing). Note that polling districts appear at the end of the list for each district – colour coded to make it easier to follow and understand. a) Aylesbury Vale configuration
