  • Submission to the Boundary Commission for England Third Period of Consultation: South East
    Boundary Review 2013 Liberal Democrat regional submission South East of England Submission to the Boundary Commission for England third period of consultation: South East INTRODUCTION The Liberal Democrats support the vast majority of the Boundary Commission for England’s second draft in the South East, and thank the assistant commissioners for taking on board many of our criticisms of the first draft. We believe this draft better reflects the communities in the South East and provides a more coherent structure for reorganisation of their parliamentary boundaries. We therefore limit our response to this second draft to the small proportion of seats where we feel improvement can still be made. This is limited to seats in Kent, Hampshire and Portsmouth. HAMPSHIRE COUNTER-PROPOSALS While we believe the Commission’s second set of proposals produce a stronger Hampshire, particularly in the restoration of a Romsey seat and an Eastleigh constituency on existing boundaries, there are some minor tweaks that can be made to improve community links within constituencies and better respect local government ties physical geography and existing boundaries. The changes we suggest to the Commission’s second draft are: SEAT / (Ward) CHANGE IN ELECTORATE Winchester -4481 Add The Alresfords +5073 Remove Denmead -5389 Remove Boarhunt and Southwick -1033 Remove Shedfield -3132 Justification: • The Alresfords have a stronger affinity to Winchester than Denmead. Denmead has a stronger affinity to Fareham urban area than to Winchester Fareham +580 Add Shedfield

This baseline is also supported by a number of historic map figures (Figures 20.3–20.6c). 1.1.1.3 The route Sections have been divided into three broad groups, which equate with the northern end and the Converter Station, the main Cable Route, and the Cable Route at Eastney Landfall, for the purposes of providing a broad archaeological and historical background narrative.
