Keal, Review Officer (Doncaster), The Local Government Boundary Commission for England, 3rd Floor, Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London, EC1M 5LG. Dear Mr. Keal, Electoral Review of Doncaster I thank you for your letter of 26th November 2014, with enclosure in connection with the above, the contents of which were considered by the Parish Council at a meeting held on 28th January 2014. As a result, the Parish Council resolved that representations be made to you requesting that The Local Government Boundary Commission for England, recommends in its current review of warding arrangements for Doncaster, that the Parish of Armthorpe continue as a single Ward as at present. The Parish Council’s reasons for this are as follows:- 1 Number of Electors The electorate figures on the Commission’s website show that for 2013 there are 11,126 electors in Armthorpe and that the electoral forecast for 2019 is 11,232. Armthorpe currently has three ward councillors and on the basis that the Commission is looking for an optimum number of 4,237 electors per councillor, it is self evident that Armthorpe does not qualify to continue as a stand alone Ward, as it would need a total of 12,711 electors.
