- PERIODIC ELECTORAL REVIEW FOR -

PROPOSALS FOR A RE-WARDING SCHEME

INTRODUCTION

The Majority Group on Hull City Council welcomes the opportunity to redraw the City’s ward boundaries. We believe this will achieve a greater electoral ratio than is currently the case, and also allows us to better reflect natural communities and reunite some areas that were artificially divided during previous exercises.

Perhaps most importantly the document allows us to reflect the changes in the electorate that has occurred since the last re-warding in 1999.

Although the last Hull City Council submission predicted the growth of Kingswood, in the north of the city, the Boundary Commission was unconvinced and did not agree an additional seat in this location. As this growth was realised, our new proposals reflect this population growth which will continue apace until 2022.

This submission has taken advantage of the opportunity to reduced disparities between the minimum and maximum number of electors represented by each Councillor. Although some disparity will remain due to the requirements to reflect natural communities, we have reduced this, with the majority of our proposed wards within a tolerance of 5%; (the mean being 4.8%).We believe this is quite an achievement given the natural geographical constraints that occur with a City divided by a river, and with its southern flank being an estuary, with large industrial areas nearby.

Although in 1999, we were able to submit a combined plan for the City, this time around the majority opposition party were proposing the retention of some two member seats, and the minority opposition party proposing a combination of one, two and three seat wards, so we had to differ in our proposals. We were however able to agree the original submission of a reduced proposed Council size to 57.

This document should be read with reference to the maps draw up to show the changes proposed which have been sent with this document both electronically to [email protected] and by post to ‘The Reviewing Officer (Hull), local Government Boundary Commission for England, 14th Floor, Millbank Tower, Millbank, London, SW1P 4QP’.

PROPOSALS

1) We have taken on board the Boundary Commission’s proposals to reduce the Council size to 57 members from the current 59 Councillors. Although not without difficulty, we have therefore proposed 19 newly proposed three- member wards. This is a reduction from the current mosaic of 23 wards, which includes a pattern of two and three-member wards. Using the projected electorate for 2022; which was provided in the Council Size Report previously submitted; we aimed for an ideal target of 9,822 electorate for each three seat ward providing an ideal number of 3,274/Councillor. Achieving an ideal division is obviously extremely difficult to do given natural communities, waterways, main arterial roads, drains and so forth, especially when in some areas some, all or none of these may represent significant natural barriers in the community of an area so we aimed to ensure that projected figures for each ward did not deviate more than 10% either way from the ideal figure and indeed we tried to limit any such variance to 5% or less. Our proposal provides for no ward projection in excess of 8% and two with a difference of less than 1%. The mean % difference was 4.8% (See figures at Appendix 4).

2) Although for large parts of its length the River Hull remains a physical boundary, this is less so in the North, as the River narrows, and there is increased development adjoining both banks. With improved road infrastructure and river crossings, there is an increased connectivity in the north of the city with shared community interest around the district retail shopping and leisure facilities at Kingswood. Against this backdrop we will propose one ward which crosses the River; (the new Kingswood & Beverley Ward).

3) Elsewhere we have revisited whether flyovers, or railway crossings naturally divide or unite communities, and have decided that there can be a case for crossing these in a couple of places where the linkages and synergies outnumber the disadvantages of such an approach, and where the shared experience of such features promote a commonality of interest.

4) The details of the proposals is shown on the attached map, together with a table of Electorate Numbers based upon a 2022 projection, along with the number of members in each ward and the number of electors per Councillor in each ward.

5) The detailed justification for each of the proposed amendments to the current warding is as followed.

EASTERN HULL

Holderness & Garden Village Ward

The main proposal is the removal of Garden Village from Drypool, a self-contained community of houses built by the philanthropist and nearby factory owner James Reckitt for his workers and which retains a special resonance with those that live there. With spacious gardens and larger houses, this community fits naturally with the other areas of Holderness Ward including James Reckitt Avenue, and East Park, which it compliments. This move is facilitated by the removal of the Kathleen Road area, with its more traditional industrial and more modest terraced housing which pepper-pots the nearby factory areas. This housing type fits far more comfortably with the streets of Drypool and its shared commonality of interest around the retail area of Holderness Road.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,109 or 3,036/Councillor which is approximately 7% below the target.

Name: Given the historic nature of this area we would propose to retain both the name Holderness as well as recognising the bespoke Garden Village area in a Holderness & Garden Village Ward for the city.

Drypool

This proposal is affected by that listed above. The one area that is quite different within this locality remains the newly built Victoria Dock which is landlocked by major Roads, and separated from other residential population centres by the River Hull. This area does not fit easily with any community, but remains a compromise for us to achieve 19 three-councillor Wards, and is not a big enough entity in its own right to even command a single Councillor, or a smaller Ward. If it had been this is the one genuinely isolated community in the whole of Hull that would have justified a separate solution, but due to size, we have had to compromise, and maintain it within Drypool, where it remains.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,331 or 3,110/Councillor which is approximately 5% below the target.

Name: It may make sense to rename this area Drypool and Victoria Dock Ward to reflect the neighbouring communities.

3

Southcoates

Our proposal for this new Southcoates Ward seeks to remove two of the two- member wards, and replace with one new three person Ward. To enable this to happen, we have removed two of the former Southcoates East boxes and reunited them within Marfleet the Ward covering the main dockland areas. A small section of this Ward nearer to Holderness Road also moves to Ings. Rather than this Southcoates community being divided, as was the case previously, we have in our proposal sought to use the main roads of Preston Road and Southcoates which are focal points, to unify rather than divide this community into one Ward. Southcoates Ward Members have submitted additional information that reflects their considered views on their ward which can be found at Appendix 1.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,263 or 3,087/Councillor which is approximately 6% below the target.

Name: As both former Wards had the name Southcoates it makes sense to maintain the name within the new ward

Marfleet

There have been some changes to Marfleet, although these are limited by the fact that that the Ward skirts the City’s Eastern Boundary, and has the estuary to the South. Although large in size, much of the area is industrial, centred around the Docks and the Ferry Terminal, and the new Green Energy Development area [EAZ]. The residential hinterlands nearby have traditionally served, and were largely built to serve, these industries. Our changes involve the proposed incorporation of two boxes from the former Southcoates East Ward into Marfleet. On the Northern fringe of the Ward, an element of the Bilton Grange Ward that only joined this ward in 1999 are removed.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,304 or 3,101/Councillor which is approximately 5% below the target.

Name: The name Marfleet retains a historic relevance and avoids using an estate name than then describes only a proportion of this locality.

Longhill & Bilton Grange Ward

This Ward, like Marfleet, adjoins the Eastern Boundary and as such has limited scope for change. A minor tweak incorporating the road-locked triangle of properties at East Mount Avenue and Mallard Road which were previously a major part of the old Bilton Grange Ward makes the new wards’ appearance far more topologically pleasing and coherent on the proposed map.

4

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,018 or 3,339/Councillor which is approximately 2% above the target.

Name: Retention of the name Longhill with the recognition of the addition of parts of the former Bilton Grange Ward seems appropriate for this new ward.

Ings

Substantial new house building has changed the size and character of this area. We are proposing the moving of two boxes of the former Bilton Grange Estate back into the newly proposed Ings Ward. These areas used to be in this ward before 1999. This has enabled us to move an area of Sutton village back within that community whereas the existing proposals divided the community. Ings Ward Members have submitted additional information that reflects their considered views on their ward which can be found at Appendix 2.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,254 or 3,084/Councillor which is approximately 6% below the target.

Name: ‘Ings’ is a name for this area that remains principally relevant.

Sutton

We are pleased with our 2016 proposal, which seeks to right a historic wrong with the current Sutton Ward, which was the most unsatisfactory compromise of the existing map. The new Boundaries are far more coherent, and we have removed Sutton Park, placing this wholly in one other Ward [West Carr] rather than it being in three. By reuniting a box from the existing Holderness Ward, Bransholme West and a section of Ings the Ward goes from resembling three distinct and separate areas to become a far more coherent shape, and a far more natural collection of related and allied communities of interest.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,037 or 3,012/Councillor which is approximately 8% below the target.

Name: The retention of the name ‘Sutton’; given the proposed new ward boundary here; describes this new ward even better than the current ‘sprawling’ locale.

West Carr

The newly constructed West Carr reunites the bulk of the former Bransholme West, along with Sutton Park. Not only does this mean that Sutton Park is in one, rather than three, wards but it is bounded by three arterial roads and unites a community

5 that is served by the district shopping centre of North Point. This proposal also makes this a balanced community of local authority houses and 1970s privately owned ones. The current street layout of this area already meant that these divisions were artificial with some streets, which already had these mixed tenures in close proximity.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,808 or 3,269/Councillor which is approximately less than 1% below the target.

Name: The new name of ‘West Carr’ avoids using ‘Bransholme’ which relates only to the council housing element of the new ward and reflects its proximity to the West Carr itself which is in the North West of the Ward.

North Carr

This newly proposed three member Ward includes the existing Garths section of Bransholme and that of North Bransholme, It however now includes the part of north Bransholme, west of Wawne Road which was artificially separated into another Ward. The re-uniting of this area, the Primary School, and the earliest and smaller of the Kingswood Housing means that this new Ward links all those that use the Wawne Roundabout to access their homes, a shared interest. It also means that the main Kingswood Secondary School in central to this new Ward. The curved boundary at the Southern edge of the proposed ward is merely a refection that the holistic integrity of the Garths Housing estate with its A-Z street name plan needs to be maintained in one Ward.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,517 or 3,505/Councillor which is approximately 7% above the target.

Name: The new name of ‘North Carr’ reflects, as is the case with ‘West Carr’, that the new ward includes North Carr itself, which lies to the South East inside the ward boundary. In addition it avoids using a label which makes reference only to a housing estate.

Kingswood & Beverley

This new Ward proposal brings together the communities of interest of Northern Hull. It unites the new properties of Kingswood Retail Park with the residential areas of Northern Beverley Road. Both have the river as a major feature of their geography and both use the Kingswood retail and leisure park and their district shopping areas as their main retail point with the major arterial routes and modal traffic infrastructure as unifying an common [if sometimes disruptive] feature in their lives. The two primary schools principally take from this new area, and do not have much influx

6

from the other side of Beverley Road, which as a dual carriageway, in this locality, is a community divider.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,605 or 3,201/Councillor which is approximately 2% below the target.

Name: Reflecting the fact that Beverley Ward is one of the longest standing ward names in the city we propose that the new ward should reflect this and that is be called Kingswood and Beverley Ward

WESTERN HULL

Orchards Ward

We propose adding merely the private sector box around the Tesco retail store back into the former Orchard Park and Greenwood Wards. This is a return to the former 1999 boundary. Although private sector this private estate has pedestrian walkways into Hall Road, Tescos and the neighbouring estate and, apart from the name, has more in common with West of Beverley Road. Shopping at Tescos, and with an older demographic they have many links with residents of the nearby estates often choosing this locality because of and not despite Orchard Park. They also use the Orchard Park Health Centre, and customer service centre.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,115 or 3,038/Councillor which is approximately 7% below the target.

Name: The name Orchards describes that this was former Orchard and farm land with the Ings Bridge element, newly incorporated, also previous called the Ings Bridge Farm Estate.

University

The proposed new three Member University Ward incorporats the Desmond Avenue and Ryde Avenue boxes. These areas have a large complement of student accommodation, and the nature of the housing tenure suggests that this is University hinterland with many businesses, landlords and infrastructural considerations being driven by their proximity to the omnipresence of the Hull University. This area is also within the economic dependent area of influence of the University.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,165 or 3,388/Councillor which is approximately 3% above the target.

7

Name: University Ward remains wholly appropriate given the geographic proximityto this dominant facility and economic driver.

Wyke

The newly proposed ‘Wyke Ward’ returns to the previous border of the former Newland Ward but with the added benefits of incorporating both sides of Newland Avenue. In many ways this is the second Ward of influence of Hull University. This proposal sensibly places all of Goddard Avenue in one Ward. At the Western edge we propose that a landlocked section on the County road Fly-over and a box to the North also join the new Ward, from the former Derringham Ward. The housing tenure is very similar to the nearby housing on National Avenue, and the newly built Warwickshire Close area. It is our belief that the similar tenure to that of Bricknell Avenue ensures the surburban terrain of this section of the ward alongside the more traditional student area of Newland Avenue. Although politics is not a consideration we have sought to ensure the areas character, recognising this is the only area of the Ward that votes for the current national Government party as we seek political plurality.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,569 or 3,523/Councillor which is approximately 7% above the target.

Name: We believe the old name of ‘Wyke’ best describes this area of the city which joins on to the East Riding at its North West border.

Myton

The newly proposed Myton Ward retains its integrity as the City Centre Ward keeping to the City Centre and most of the Beverley Road arterial route. As Beverley Road is a Heritage Lottery funded-zone below Queens Road, ensuring this section remains within one ward keeps the decision making around this heritage area in one place although we accept that this makes for an unusual ward feature at the northern end of the proposed ward. In doing this, however, we are seeking to ensure the best possible outcome for the residents both on this significant passageway through the centre of the city and the surrounding areas. By taking in the former Sculcoates box it ensures the retail zone and its users around Beverley Road are in one zone. As this area is both white working class English and Eastern European it keeps the communities intact. We have retained the integrity of the Thornton Estate and have instead sought to shed Spring Bank as part of the numerical balancing in this proposal.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,211 or 3,404/Councillor which is approximately 4% above the target.

8

Name: This is a historic name for this part of Hull which local people clearly relate to so we propose its retention.

Avenue & Pearson Park

The proposal extends the Avenue Ward slightly, taking in the former Newland Avenue School Area. As most of the northern end of this box accesses the pedestrian route of Jack Kaye Walk to access the Avenue and nearby schools. At the Southern end of the proposed new Ward the larger private streets that are ‘bohemian’ in nature have far more in common with the tradition Avenues. These houses have many traditional features. Many of the newer residents are linked by the shared commonality of the two principal City Mosques both of which would be in the ward under this proposal. At the South West leg we propose a choice of options. The separated community of Hymers Avenue; (which has been in many differing wards) and Sunny Bank could sit in Avenue Ward or with the ward boundary following the railway line which borders the playing fields of the school, but this creates a ‘bottleneck’ or artificial narrowing towards the northern edge of the ward below. Alternatively, it could sit in St. Andrew’s & Infirmary Ward which looks a much neater option on the map. Opinions on this are divided in the group with the current Labour Ward Councillors of the Avenues Ward wishing to retain the area in the Avenues and Pearson Park Ward proposal. The Labour Group would welcome the view of the Commission on this.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 9,861 or 3,287/Councillor which is approximately less than 1% above the target.

Name: The proposed ward, as with the current one, incorporates more than just ‘The Avenues’ so we would propose that the dominant feature of Pearson Park be included in the name to widen its local reference and become the Avenue & Pearson Park Ward.

St Andrews and Infirmary Ward

This construct preserves the cultural integrity of Hull’s former fishing community around Hessle Road and unites it with the Infirmary Area where they enjoy a shared parking zone by virtue of their proximity to the Hospital and the significant traffic movements in the surrounding area. The introduction of South Spring Bank which is literally in the shadow of Hull Royal infirmary influences the employment, residence, and highways infrastructure of the northern area of this Ward. Hessle Road still breathes culture and identity as evidenced by local resident groups and their input to the City of Culture 2017 historic festival planned for this area. This involves murals proposed as well as specific cultural activities centred around the fishing industry history; which still looms large in the feelings and identity of local residents; will

9

strengthen this sense of community. Against this backdrop the “Shires” across the fly-over are incorporated into this Ward. They do not see themselves as from ‘Gipsyville’, identifying still with the Road from which many derived their income. The decision also puts all of St Georges Road in one Ward. The ‘annoyance’ of the crossing proves this is a community unifier, judging by the amount of pedestrians who cross it or the nearby pedestrian bridge which they would not do if this was two communities. The St Georges primary School also serves both sides of St Georges Road.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,315 or 3,438/Councillor which is approximately 5% above the target.

Name: The St. Andrews is a generic term for the former fishing area avoiding the rivalries of a single street. The addition of ‘Infirmary’ reflects that the ward is not just about the immediate Hessle road area and brings in the other very dominant feature of the area and how it works.

Newington and Pickering

This new proposal unites the 1930s Gipsyville Estate area in one ward. Whilst largely re-modelled this is a destinct area of the City so it should be located in one ward. As the ‘new build’ includes roads that go into the Pickering Park area the Park equally must be in this Ward. The proposal also incorporate many parts of Spring Bank West ensuring a more sensible coverage of this new community uniting the former football ground area of new build properties within the one ward.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,649 or 3,550/Councillor which is approximately 8% above the target.

Name: Moving the Park into this area suggests the name Pickering must be part of the new Ward title of Pickering and Newington.

Boothferry

The proposed new boundary whilst shedding part of Gipsyville, manages to reunite the estate area. Whilst ‘right to buy’ is in the majority, we feel it must be right to ensure Anlaby Park Road North and South are in the same ward going forward. With the added adjoining Summergroves private housing area, this new construct has a strengthened suburban feel to it.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,459 or 3,486/Councillor which is approximately 6% above the target.

10

Name: after reuniting the estate, this Ward lends itself to having the name Boothferry.

Derringham

The new proposal loses a small part of house around the fly-over but reunites all of the Derringham Bank Estate area in one ward, including the primary school. Adding some streets off of this locality ensures that the new map is not only more geographically pleasing but better meets the needs of uniting a community.

Projected Electorate (2022) = 10,230 or 3,410/Councillor which is approximately 4% above the target.

Name: We believe this ward retains the essential elements of ther former Derringham Ward and so should retain the current name.

11

Appendix 1

Additional Submission In Support Of The Newly Proposed Southcoates Ward From Current Southcoates East And West Members

The proposal to join Southcoates West and Southcoates East is a natural one, in fact returning the wards to a similar boundary of the former ‘Southcoates’ that marked the boundaries until 2002. This area encompassed all of Southcoates West and some of the more traditional housing off Southcoates Lane, Southcoates Avenue and Preston Rd. The remaining area of Southcoates East is geographically placed to be in Southcoates – the housing off Southcoates Avenue and Preston Rd up to the natural boundary of Portobello Street in the east and along the drain on the south eastern boundary.

The most important aspect of the proposal is maintaining the community - the traditional private housing in Southcoates West and the adjoining area of Southcoates East, and the Council housing on either side of Preston Rd. Families living in both housing types chose to stay in the area because of the great sense of community, family links and friendships.

The proposed Southcoates Ward will retain the important community links of Southcoates West and the adjoining area of Southcoates East along Southcoates Avenue. The Southcoates East community is based around the Preston Road New Deal for Communities area that is retained in the proposed Southcoates and will link in with the community hub of the Freedom Village, and charitable community- focused organisations working in the area – Preston Road Neighbourhood Development Company, PROBE, Child Dynamix, Environmental Management Solutions, the Hull Community Shop, etc. that focus their work in the HU9 postcode.

The proposed Southcoates will also link in with the primary schools that are important to local communities – Alderman & Cogan, Southcoates Primary and Woodland would all fit in with this families and local educational links.

The proposed Southcoates will be better served by three members who can work together across the whole area, where the over-lapping links are numerous.

Appendix 2

Additional Submission In Support Of The Newly Proposed Ings Ward From Current Ings Members

Ings Ward Supporting Submission

The new Ings Ward would be served by 3 local Councillors. The Ward will include an electorate of approximately 9,324 based on box projections for 2022 with small refinements such as sub box divisions. It would include five Primary schools, one 6th form academy two public houses and a church.

Ings ward represents an area of similar communities from the edge of Parthian Road and Griffin Road area down to Anson Road and Leander Road who share the small Marfleet / Barham Road shops, a common area with community shops and local primary schools. Families using Griffin and Maybury Primary Schools cross these tight areas. Barham Road is linked to Marfleet Lane with small shops and a public house. Local bus routes continue to link natural and familiar borders.

The local community extends east of Portobello Street with the Pickering developments on either side of Maybury Road providing for the shared needs of elderly residents. The houses on Holderness Road wrap around both sides of Maybury Road and Holderness road borders a large part of the ward and is a natural thoroughfare providing accessible local transport. The drain runs through the ward and our cycle and walkway provides an easier and safer link for young people to gain access to Wilberforce College on Saltshouse Road.

Ings Ward borders on to Sutton Ward to the east and north, providing links to the Sutton Village with some families using Neasden Primary School.

Saltshouse Road in lined with large developed housing with different developments extending off it on either side and also encompasses Wilberforce 6th Form College which is a city wide educational establishment that, along with local residents of this area, benefits from regular bus routes to and from the city centre as well as a nearby local shop. Popular local a public house adds to a close sense of community ownership in the area. To the east side of Saltshouse Road encircling Westerngailes Way the Holderness drain provides a divide between the playing fields and the Municipal golf which would be the western ward boundary for the Longhill Ward.

Spring Cottage, Gleneagles, and a small part of Howdale Road share the Spring Cottage Primary School, as do children from the Camberwell area of the Ings regeneration, widening the community commonality. Further local shops and a second popular public house provide another small interrelated hub in this area of

13 the ward.

To the west of the ward, Ings Road provides a boundary including the local Ings Primary School which is mainly accessed from Bellfield and Savoy Road. Savoy Road also connects to the streets off Holderness road and backs onto the largest shopping area in the ward, the original and still popular, Savoy Road shops.

The Ings Councillors believe that the proposed boundary for the Ings Ward allows for a good intergenerational balance - there are two high rise blocks of flats which provide safe and secure accommodation for the over 60s – alongside well developed family residential areas and well used family friendly community assets. The Holderness road area has a strong community feel with a church, good local shops and transport links and provides a good level electoral equality without compromising too much by way of change to achieve it.

Appendix 3

Additional Submission In Support Of The Newly Proposed Newington & Pickering Ward From a Current Newington Member

The Gypsyville houses were constructed at the same time and were always and remain seen as one estate. Reuniting this distinctive area of the city will bring together a natural community that was split as a result of the previous ward boundary review. The proposed ward also draws on a connection to Anlaby road, not just because of the commonality of use of North Road but the former Hull City football ground site, Boothferry Park which is now a new build site. This stretch is common footfall to the local amenities on Anlaby Road which now also benefits from the redeveloped Tradex site. The Tradex site now links Hawthorn Avenue with Boothferry Park, Anlaby Road. The new build now happening on the former football ground site will only strengthen the community on Anlaby Road.

Melrose Street has a natural connection to Hawthorn Ave being part of Anlaby Road and completing the ‘square’ along with Sterling Street and Glencoe Street, as it runs onto Hawthorn Ave. Many of the residents now use the new site to walk to the local shops from Hamlyn Avenue and Cardigan Road, Meadowbank Road and Roslyn Road not forgetting the residents in the streets Woldcarr to Parkfield. The residents of Alliance Avenue and De La Pole Avenue, along with the people living on Spring Bank West enjoy both the Anlaby Road shopping area as well as the connection and freedom to travel north to Chanterlands Avenue, which has further shops and also more recently had developed several ‘eateries’ for local people.

The former Riley School site is also building out rapidly which will bring it together with the community of Spring Bank West taking in Rosedale to Kirkland from Brooklands to Riley Fields who share the same shopping and socialising amenities.

CONCLUSIONS

The Labour Group on Hull City Council as a whole support this proposal and all Labour Members have been consulted on a number of occasions as a group and many individually throughout the process of putting this proposal together. In doing so the group has been supported by dedicated officers from across different areas of the authority in gathering the data and assisting members in analysing it.

The Labour Group welcomes the opportunity to put forward our united views on the re warding of the city, which has seen many changes, and will continue to do so beyond 2022. These proposals take into account the communities that exist and that are planned to develop towards 2022 and reflect no only the developments planned in certain parts of the city but the noted and projected movement of the electorate through different parts of the city as well as other factors.

In a city such as Hull which has such tight boundaries this process is complicated and requires compromise to achieve a ‘fit’ that attempts to accommodate communities as they exist and commonalities between areas as far as is possible while maintaining an overarching need to reach a greater degree of electoral equality going forward. The process would have been easier had the city boundaries been more accommodation, particularly to the western boundary where, we strongly feel, that the boundary unnecessarily cuts through existing communities that are a natural part of the city itself. The group does, however, recognise and accept that this is an issue that does not concern the Commission or this process. As has been expressed previously though, the Group would also welcome a review of the city boundary as a whole with a view to addressing the issues that have been expressed since 1996 in relation to the tight bounding of the city and the seemingly arbitrary drawing of the boundary to exclude contiguous residential areas of the natural city limits.
