This profile describes the new Droylsden West ward, which comes into effect on 10th June 2004. The figures it contains must be regarded as provisional. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has yet to issue official and more accurate Census figures for the new wards. Interpreting Census Statistics Please note that small figures in Census tables are liable to be amended by the ONS to preserve confidentiality. This means that totals and percentages which logically ought to be the same may in fact be different, depending what table they come from. Useful Websites Basic Census results can be found at www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk, but these refer to pre-June 2004 wards. See also www.statistics.gov.uk and www.tameside.gov.uk For further information please contact Anne Cunningham in the Policy Unit on 0161 342 2170, or email [email protected] All data taken from 2001 Census. Technical differences between the 1991 and 2001 Censuses make comparison difficult, and ward definitions have changed since 1991.

The other areas are Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield; Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale and Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw. Companion profiles of these other areas are also available. This profile has a focus on data that has relevance to children and families rather than other community members (e.g. older people). The data selected is not exhaustive; rather, key indicators of need are selected to help produce an overall picture of need in the area and offer some comparisons between different localities (mainly wards) within the area. Some commentary is provided as appropriate. It is expected that the profile will aid planning and delivery of services.

  • Electoral Review – Council Size Proposal – December 2020 1 Tameside Electoral Review Council Size Proposal – Decemeber
    ELECTORAL REVIEW – COUNCIL SIZE PROPOSAL – DECEMBER 2020 TAMESIDE ELECTORAL REVIEW COUNCIL SIZE PROPOSAL – DECEMEBER 2020 The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) have informed Tameside Council they are to undertake an electoral review. The last such review was in 2003 and agreed the size of the council to be 57 councillors across 19 wards (three councillors per ward). This report is the Tameside Council size proposal (Stage 1) to the LGBCE. In addition, Tameside Council has provided the supporting information requested by the LGBCE. The report is structured as below: 1. Executive summary 2. Tameside the place and its communities 3. Electoral forecasts 4. Governance and decision making 5. Local and sub-regional arrangements 6. Scrutiny and regulatory functions 7. Representational role of councillors in the local community 8. Other 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Tameside Council proposes a council size of 57 councillors across 19 wards (three councillors per ward). No change from the current council size. 1.2 In coming to the decision to propose a council size of 57 councillors a range of evidence and a number of factors were considered and balanced. They included: population and elector growth; increasing diversity of local communities; governance and decision making; scrutiny and regulatory functions; changing nature of case work in terms of volume, scope and complexity; representation of individuals and communities beyond the formal governance arrangements; major changes such as Greater Manchester devolution and health and social care integration. 1.3 The population and electorate of Tameside has grown considerably since the last electoral review in 2003. 12,800 more population, an increase of 6% (which is above the national average), and 10,600 more electors, an increase of 6.6%.

Final recommendations p8 Appendix A Initial/revised proposals overview 1. The North West region was allocated 68 constituencies under the initial and revised proposals, a reduction of seven from the existing allocation. In formulating the initial and revised proposals the Commission decided to construct constituencies using the following sub-regions: Table 1A - Constituency allocation Sub-region Existing allocation Allocation under initial Allocation under revised proposals proposals Cumbria 6 5 5 Lancashire 16 14 14 Merseyside (less the 11 10 10 Wirral) Greater Manchester, the 42 39 39 Wirral and Cheshire 2. Under the initial proposals 14 of the existing 75 constituencies were unchanged. The revised proposals retained 13 of the existing constituencies unchanged, (a reduction of one). The theoretical entitlement of 25.37 constituencies in Greater Manchester and 10.34 constituencies in Cheshire meant that both counties had to contain constituencies that crossed their respective county boundaries. Under both sets of proposals it was proposed to have two constituencies ​ that crossed county boundaries. We decided not to propose constituencies that crossed the Greater Manchester ​ boundary in the north with Lancashire. The reasons for this are that there was no requirement for Lancashire to have a 1 constituency that crosses the county boundary with Greater Manchester and, even if this crossing had been proposed it still would be necessary to construct a cross-county constituency between Cheshire and Greater Manchester in the south.
