THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 3 4 THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND WHAT IS THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND? 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 Kru Desai 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 councils. This report sets out our final recommendations on the electoral arrangements for the district of Adur in West Sussex. THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 5 6 THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND SUMMARY The Local Government Commission for England (LGCE) began a review of Adur’s electoral arrangements on 10 July 2001. It published its draft recommendations for electoral arrangements on 26 February 2002, after which it undertook an eight-week period of consultation. As a consequence of the transfer of functions referred to earlier, it falls to us, The Boundary Committee for England, to complete the work of the LGCE and submit final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. • This report summarises the representations received by the LGCE during consultation on its draft recommendations, and contains our final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. We found that the existing arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in Adur: • in five of the 14 wards the number of electors represented by each councillor varies by more than 10 per cent from the average for the district and three wards vary by more than 20 per cent; • by 2006 this situation is expected to continue with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10 per cent from the average in five wards and by more than 20 per cent in two wards. Our main final recommendations for future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 78-79) are that: • Adur District Council should have 29 councillors, 10 fewer than at present; • there should be 14 wards, as at present; • the boundaries of 13 of the existing wards should be modified. The purpose of these proposals is to ensure that, in future, each district councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In 13 of the proposed 14 wards the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 10 per cent from the district average. • This improved level of electoral equality is forecast to continue, with the number of electors per councillor in all wards expected to vary by no more than 5 per cent from the average for the district in 2006. Recommendations are also made for changes to parish council electoral arrangements which provide for: • new warding arrangements for Lancing and Sompting parishes. THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 7 All further correspondence on these final recommendations and the matters discussed in this report should be addressed to The Electoral Commission, which will not make an Order implementing them before 20 August 2002: The Secretary Electoral Commission Trevelyan House Great Peter Street London SW1P 2HW 8 THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND Table 1: Final Recommendations: Summary Ward name Number of Constituent areas councillors 1 Buckingham 2 part of Buckingham ward; part of Hillside ward 2 Cokeham 2 part of Sompting parish (the proposed Cokeham parish ward) 3 Eastbrook 2 part of Eastbrook ward 4 Elms 2 part of Lancing parish (the proposed Elms parish ward) 5 Hillside 2 part of Buckingham ward; part of Hillside ward 6 Manor 2 Coombes parish; part of Lancing parish (the proposed Manor parish ward) 7 Marine 2 Unchanged 8 Mash Barn 2 part of Lancing parish (the proposed Mash Barn parish ward) 9 Peverel 2 part of Sompting parish (the proposed Peverel parish ward) 10 St Mary’s 2 St Mary’s ward; part of Southlands ward; part of St Nicolas ward; part of Southwick Green ward 11 St Nicolas 2 part of Buckingham ward; part of St Nicolas ward 12 Southlands 2 part of Southlands ward; part of Southwick Green ward 13 Southwick Green 2 part of Eastbrook ward; part of Southlands ward; part of Southwick Green ward 14 Widewater 3 part of Lancing parish (the proposed Widewater parish ward) Notes: 1 The district contains three parishes: Coombes, Lancing and Sompting.

Figures have been rounded to the nearest whole number. 10 THE BOUNDARY COMMITTEE FOR ENGLAND 1 INTRODUCTION 1 This report contains our final recommendations on the electoral arrangements for the district of Adur in West Sussex. The seven districts in West Sussex have now been reviewed as part of the programme of periodic electoral reviews (PERs) of all 386 principal local authority areas in England started by the LGCE in 1996. We have inherited that programme, which we currently expect to complete in 2004. 2 Adur’s last review was undertaken by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, which reported to the Secretary of State in September 1977 (Report no. 251). The electoral arrangements of West Sussex County Council were last reviewed in June 1984 (Report no. 473). We expect to begin reviewing the County Council’s electoral arrangements towards the end of 2002. 3 In making final recommendations to The Electoral Commission, we have had regard to: • the statutory criteria contained in section 13(5) of the Local Government Act 1992 (as amended by SI 2001 No. 3692), i.e. the need to: a) reflect the identities and interests of local communities; b) secure effective and convenient local government; and c) achieve equality of representation. • Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972. 4 Details of the legislation under which the review of Adur was conducted are set out in a document entitled Guidance and Procedural Advice for Local Authorities and Other Interested Parties (LGCE, fourth edition, published in December 2000). This Guidance sets out the approach to the review. 5 Our task is to make recommendations on the number of councillors who should serve on a council, and the number, boundaries and names of wards.

  • Beach Recharge in Sussex & East Kent
    BEACH RECHARGE IN SUSSEX & EAST KENT: A PRELIMINARY INVENTORY & OVERVIEW Compiled by R. Williams, edited by C. Moses. Not to be quoted without permission 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................1 2 Inventory of beach recharge schemes ..............................................................................5 3 Notes and sources ............................................................................................................9 4 Conclusion ......................................................................................................................17 5 References......................................................................................................................21 1 Introduction Sand and shingle are being lost from many beaches in Sussex and Kent as a result of natural coastal processes as well as ill-designed sea defence and coastal protection schemes. To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits. Beach recycling is defined as the removal
