  • Leicester City Labour Group City of Leicester New Ward Boundary Narrative
    Patrick Kitterick For the attention of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England Please find attached the following files in relation to Leicester City Labour Party’s submission regarding the LGBCE’s review of boundaries for Leicester City Council. -PDF Map of the New City of Leicester Ward Boundaries as proposed by Leicester City Labour Party. -PDF Table of the numbers for each ward and variances for the New City of Leicester Ward Boundaries as proposed by Leicester City Labour Party. -Narrative on Proposed New Wards -Data files supplied by Leicester City Council which I believe are compatible with LGBCE systems which give the detailed data surrounding our proposals. If this is, in any way, incompatible with the supplied maps and narrative please contact me to resolve any confusion.. The overall approach of Leicester City Labour Party has been to produce a detailed, validated, city wide proposal for Leicester. We have used the River Soar as a primary definer of boundaries in the city, we have also made greater use of the railway lines in the city as a definer of boundaries and finally we have used major roads as a point to either divide wards or build wards depending on whether they divide communities or have communities grow around them. For the necessity of providing balanced numbers we have had to use minor roads as the final definer of boundaries. Overall we have reduced the number of wards from 22 to 20 and we have kept wards co-terminus with current parliamentary boundaries, as they too provide strong community and natural boundaries.

  • Leicester City Liberal Democrats
    Leicester City Liberal Democrats 8 November 2013 Alison Evison Review Manager Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House 76-86 Turnmill Street London EC1M 5LG Dear Ms Evison Liberal Democrat Proposals for the Electoral Review for the City of Leicester Please find enclosed our proposals for a city-wide scheme for this stage of the review. We hope that the Commission will find our work thus far useful. Where we have used whole polling districts as building blocks for proposed wards, we are sure of our electorate figures. Where we have divided polling districts, while we have attempted accuracy, we would ask that you check, and if necessary amend, our figures. Even where the 2012 electorate figures are correct, the 2019 figures will need amendment. If you have any questions, or would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely Alan Fox Vice-Chair Leicester City Liberal Democrats cc. David Owen, Review Officer Liberal Democrat Proposals for the Electoral Review for the City of Leicester In putting forward a city-wide scheme of proposed wards at this stage of the electoral review, Leicester City Liberal Democrats aim to assist the Local Government Boundary Commission in its work. We have started out by looking at communities and neighbourhoods. Then we have tried to create around them, compact wards with good internal communications and strong boundaries. Some of the bigger neighbourhoods are too large for a single member ward, but none are so enormous that they need a three member ward. Some communities are just the right size for a single member ward.

LE1 7RH 7RH [email protected] [email protected] gov.uk [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper proposes an approach for targeting priority areas for community engagement using data held by local authorities relating to local taxation, housing, education, public health outcomes and derived measures of vulnerability. It seeks to identify the relevant variables that are held by the local authority, to model community or neighbourhood trajectories by examining changes in such data over time as the first steps in a hierarchical approach for analysing community resilience and well-being. The outputs of these steps allow community engagement activities to be targeted. Initial results are described and key discussion points are outlined.. Keywords: Spatial Analysis, GIS, Mixed Methods, Community Engagement 1 Introduction samples of the population, using questionnaires. In this research, a hierarchical methodology is described, where The concepts of community Resilience and Wellbeing are indicators of the spatial distribution of different levels of important for developing / promoting sustainable community well-being are identified as a first stage in the communities.

This presented both an overview of the Highfields area and a series of priorities for business and public services. However, in time this plan has been overtaken by changes in the population and the structure of local governance, in particular the independence of the Highfields Centre and the ongoing work undertaken by the Highfields Area Forum who commissioned this work. Equally, the economic climate in 2012 is considerably less prosperous than in 2003 and this is likely to have an effect on many local residents. Social Research Associates (SRA) was commissioned by Highfields Area Forum and funded by the three local wards (Spinney Hills, Castle and Stoneygate), the Mayfield Children’s Centre and the Highfields Community Association, to update the Area Plan, initially through desktop research and subsequently through stakeholder consultation. Over 60 local organisations, including the City Mayor’s team, local Councillors and Officers from the local statutory agencies and members of the Highfields Area Forum, took part in the discussions.
