7.2 COTSWOLD DISTRICT COUNCIL AREA Number of Proposed Divisions: 8 Total Electorate for District in 2010: 68,324 Forecast Electorate for District in 2016: 71,392 Forecast District Average Number of Electors per 8,924 Councillor in 2016: Forecast County Average Number of Electors per 9,220 Councillor in 2016: % Co-terminosity with District Wards 75% Rationale for Proposed Divisions The Cotswold district area is largely rural mainly comprising rural parishes, small market towns and the large historic town of Cirencester. The proposed divisions are formed around established market towns which have strong local community identity. By using existing district wards as the building bricks, it has been possible to achieve 75% coterminosity with district wards. The largest town of Cirencester requires two divisions. The existing division is currently represented by two councillors. The proposed two new divisions (divisions CO 4 and CO 5) are formed by using existing district wards to create an East and West split. The East division also includes some rural areas which are linked along the major A419 road. The centre of the Cotswold District area is the most sparsely populated area of Gloucestershire. A geographically large division CO 3 is necessary here. The largest settlement is Northleach. Two major routes traverse the area, the old Cirencester Road A435 and the A40 London Road. Both along and between these on the “top of the Cotswolds” are many small rural communities but no major settlements. Other divisions are largely dictated by the shape of the county. Starting in the southwest, a division has been created around the market town of Tetbury and the area to the east towards Cirencester. One district ward is split to give electoral equality between Tetbury and South Cerney divisions. The South Cerney division area is created to take in the area of development and existing villages around the Water Park development area. To the east of the A419 there is a distinct community around Lechlade and the River Thames with a rural area to the north. Geography again suggests a division based around the market town of Chipping Campden in the north of the district extending to the edge of Moreton-in-Marsh. A Moreton-in-Marsh division also includes the community of Stow-on-the-Wold. These communities are linked by the major A429 road. Member Support The proposals for the Cotswold District Council area are supported by councillors from all political groups.
