  • West Berkshire
    West Berkshire Personal Details: Name: Dominic Boeck E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: Local Government Boundary Commission for England proposals for West Berkshire Council Proposed Burghfield & Mortimer Ward Introduction I am responding in my capacity as ward member for Aldermaston at West Berkshire Council to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England draft recommendations for new ward boundaries across West Berkshire. LGBCE Draft Recommendations I am content with the proposal that the number of members elected to West Berkshire Council is reduced from 52 to 43. I consider though that the creation of three member wards, especially in the rural parts of the district, will diminish the effectiveness of representation presently enjoyed by residents and will not meet LGBCE’s expectations that a good pattern of wards will reflect community interests and identities and is based on strong, easily identifiable boundaries . The proposed pattern, especially in areas covered by such vast wards as the proposed Aldermaston and Bucklebury where it will be extremely difficult for members to be familiar with the unique local aspects and challenges across so many parishes, will not help the council deliver effective and convenient local government. Neither will the creation of large wards which combine substantial areas and population in both rural and suburban communities, such as Thatcham Central and Crookham and as Greenham which will bring its northern-most boundary into the heart of Newbury. Consultation response WBCA asks that LGBCE reconsiders its draft recommendations to make changes to the following wards, as suggested: • Aldermaston and Bucklebury • Hungerford and Kintbury • Basildon and Compton • Wash Common, Newbury Central and Greenham • Thatcham Central and Crookham • Purley and Tilehurst At the moment, Aldermaston ward consists of 5 parishes, three of which have monthly meetings, one has meetings every two months and one has two meetings a year.
