Dear Sir/Madam

ELECTORAL REVIEW OF EAST DEVON: WARDING ARRANGEMENTS

I am writing on behalf of Beer Parish Council to provide a formal consultation response regarding the proposed electoral review of East Devon District Council.

The Parish Council notes the Commission’s aim to deliver electoral equality for voters across the district.

Beer is currently part of Beer & ward and the Parish Council understands that there is currently a disparity in ward sizes within East Devon. The Parish Council has highlighted the following priorities for Beer & Branscombe ward:

i) Maintain the rural nature of the ward ii) Maintain a single Councillor ward if possible (maximum of 2 Councillors) iii) In the event that Beer & Branscombe ward should need to be enlarged - consider the inclusion of properties to the west of Beer brook (Seaton Hole) and/or extend the existing ward further to the west to include areas of Weston and Regis (not already included)

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this consultation exercise.

Yours faithfully

Mrs Annie Dallaway Clerk to Beer Parish Council
