All Residents 9/28/2017 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Preston District Personal Details: Name: Simon Bingham E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Mr Comment text: As a resident of Cottam I am dismayed that you are considering splitting Cottam and Lea into different wards. I have lived in this area all my life and the area of Cottam and Lea has always been known to be one community as reflected in the current parish council. If one of your criteria is to "reflect community ident ty" then these ares should not be split up. Further more the needs of both Cottam and Lea are very similar and are much different to those Larches and of Ingol and I do not believe that our needs would be heard should these proposals go ahead as emphasis would no doubt go towards those parts of the ward w th more problems so the people of Cottam would not be sufficiently represented. If the number of people w thin the ward is currently insuff cient then I believe it would be better to include the Summertrees estate into Cottam and Lea especially as Summertrees has been regarded locally as being part of Lea ever since it was built. There has always been a community identity between Cottam and Lea which has never existed w th Ingol or Larches.

Furthermore the historical connection between Lea and Lea Town is being severed by the proposal to place them in different c ty wards. It is my understanding that Preston City Officers put forward an alternative plan which d d not involve the severing of Lea & Cottam and, I strongly suggest the commission revisit their boundary review proposals to find a solution that more respects the identity and sentiments of the Lea & Cottam community.

My only comment is the size of families per elector per ward. The size of families in Lea & Larches is much larger than my proposed ward of Greyfriars. There are many single or couples without children in Greyfriars, but Lea, Brookfield, Ingol and Deepdale have many residencies with large families. Presumably if an elector has a problem affecting a number of non- voters t is considered within the 10% aggregation?

Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded Preston District Personal Details: Name: Hilary Coward E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: You state in your draft recommendations that your criteria are "To reflect community identity" as well as trying to balance and equalise the number of electors that each councillor represents. I object to your proposal to split the Lea ward which includes the growing area of Cottam as it would destroy the existing community identity that has been built up over the last 25 years. This area has a thriving Parish Council of Lea & Cottam which mirrors the existing Preston City Council Lea Ward. The Cottam area is growing and has planning permission granted for 1000+ new homes which will help to equalise the numbers but if this is not enough then a small tweak to include the Summertrees Avenue area would help to increase the numbers and they have more of a community identity with the Cottam area. Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded 8/29/2017 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Preston District Personal Details: Name: Dorothy Haliwell E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: RAFT/Farri park CiC Comment text: I have for some time been complaining about where Farringdon Park is situated. We are at the end of New Hall Lane just before you go down the hill to the Tickled Trout but we are part of Ribbleton wh ch is no where near Farringdon Park. In fact there is no access to Ribbleton from Farringdon Park because we are cut off by the Cemetery and we have to negotiate Blackpool Road as far as Miller Road to get anywhere near Ribbleton. We used to be part of Fishwick which was much better for us. I would also be concerned about the number of Cllrs you are propoposing - mainly because of the spread of the area.

I would submit that any area that is plus or minus more than 5% cannot be viewed as a successful solution. The effective Parish Council of Lea & Cottam would have to be radically dissected and a large area of “different needs” to that which they are used to handling would fall into their remit and how they would perform is very much open to conjecture. In order to try to even things up between the four wards I would propose that the Tanterton “bulge” shown on the North East side of Tulketh ward be incorporated therein, thus running the boundary right along Woodplumpton Road to the roundabout on Tom Benson Way. The Northern boundary of Lea & Larches should run all the way along the railway line and its South Eastern boundary brought Westwards to run down Larches Lane and thus increase the Ashton Ward. The Ingol & Cottam Northern boundary should run along Hoyles Lane for at least the Southern side I feel the above would “even” out a disparate area shown on your map page 18. Yours Faithfully, Barry Haughey 1 10/30/2017 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Preston District Personal Details: Name: Gareth Hill E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Why on earth is Frenchwood being removed from ts natural geograph c pos tion with Avenham and being joined w th Fishwick? There is no real logic to joining Frenchwood to Fishw ck, part cularly as the communities are div ded by an area of industrial units. I'm particularly uncomfortable that the more affluent area of Fishw ck around Tudor Avenue is being shifted to Ribbleton this move makes no sense at all, given that the area includes Fishw ck Golf Club. As a resident of the Boulevard area, I feel part of the C ty Centre very much like Broadgate which is proposed to be included in the City Centre. The proposed Frenchwood and Fishwick ward feels like an attempt to create and even more ethnic minority major ty area, as the highest ethnic minority part of the present Town (City) Centre ie Frenchwood is being moved. We should be ensuring diverse wards not designing new wards which appear to group majority ethnic minor ty areas together. Fishwick should stay as t is, Frenchwood should be included in the City Centre. The University area should not be City Centre but included in Moor Park instead.
