The Boundary Committee for England is a committee of The Electoral Commission, an independent body set up by Parliament under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The functions of the Local Government Commission for England were transferred to The Electoral Commission and its Boundary Committee on 1 April 2002 by the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (SI 2001 No. 3692). The Order also transferred to The Electoral Commission the functions of the Secretary of State in relation to taking decisions on recommendations for changes to local authority electoral arrangements and implementing them. Members of the Committee are: Pamela Gordon (Chair) Professor Michael Clarke CBE Robin Gray Joan Jones Ann M Kelly Professor Colin Mellors Archie Gall (Director) We are required by law to review the electoral arrangements of every principal local authority in England. Our aim is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to ward boundaries, the number of councillors and ward names. We can also recommend changes to the electoral arrangements of parish and town councils. 5 6 Summary We began a review of the electoral arrangements for Tameside on 8 May 2002. • This report summarises the submissions we received during the first stage of the review and makes draft recommendations for change. We found that the current arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in Tameside: • in four of the 19 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10% from the average for the borough; • by 2006 this situation is expected to worsen, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10% from the average in five wards. Our main draft recommendations for future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 71–72) are that: • Tameside Borough Council should have 57 councillors, as at present; • there should be 19 wards, as at present; • the boundaries of all of the existing wards should be modified. The purpose of these proposals is to ensure that, in future, each borough councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In all of the proposed 19 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 9% from the borough average. • This level of electoral equality is expected to improve further with the number of electors per councillor in all wards expected to vary by no more than 6% from the average for the borough in 2006. This report sets out our draft recommendations on which comments are invited. • We will consult on these proposals for eight weeks from 25 February 2003. We take this consultation very seriously. We may decide to move away from our draft recommendations in the light of comments or suggestions that we receive. It is therefore important that all interested parties let us have their views and evidence, whether or not they agree with our draft recommendations. • After considering local views, we will decide whether to modify our draft recommendations. We will then submit our final recommendations to The Electoral Commission which will be responsible for implementing change to local authority electoral arrangements. • The Electoral Commission will decide whether to accept, modify or reject our final recommendations. It will also determine when any changes come into effect.

We are reviewing the 10 metropolitan boroughs in Greater Manchester as part of our programme of periodic electoral reviews (PERs) of all 386 principal local authority areas in England. The programme started in 1996 and is currently expected to finish in 2004. 2 This is our first review of the electoral arrangements of Tameside.

    Submission to the Boundary Commission for England 2013 Review North West Region Greater Manchester and Lancashire Andrew Teale December 4, 2011 Abstract This submission disagrees with and presents a counter-proposal to the Boundary Commission for England’s proposals for new parliamentary con- stituency boundaries in Greater Manchester and Lancashire. The counter- proposal allocates seven whole constituencies to the boroughs of Stockport, Tameside and Oldham, nine whole constituencies to the boroughs of Man- chester, Salford and Trafford, and twenty-four whole constituencies to the rest of the region. No comment is made on the Boundary Commission’s proposals for the rest of the North West region or for any other region.

  • Area Profile
    A profile of needs and s Services about children, young people and their families In the Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale area of Tameside September 2007 Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale: Profile of need and services Introduction This is a selective statistical profile of needs and services in the Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale area, this is one of four areas chosen as a basis from which future integrated services for children, young people and their families will be delivered. The other areas are Ashton-under-Lyne: Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw and Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield. Companion profiles of these other areas are also available. This profile has a focus on data that has relevance to children and families rather than other community members (e.g. older people). The data selected is not exhaustive, rather key indicators of need are selected to help produce an overall picture of need in the area and offer some comparisons between localities (mainly wards) within the area. Some commentary is provided as appropriate. It is expected that the profile will aid the planning and delivery of services. The profile has two parts: Part 1 focuses on the presentation of basic need data, whilst Part 2 focuses on services. The top three categories of the new occupational classification are ‘Managers & Senior Officials; Professionals’ and Associate Professional & Technical’ (hatched at the top of the graph on right) Tameside as a whole comes 350 th out of 376 in the country for Professional; and bottom in Greater Manchester for all three categories
