12/03/2021 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Stoke-on-Trent City Council Personal Details: Name: E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: I write in support of Stoke-on-Trent Councils plans to split Stoke and Penkhull into separate council wards and I ask the Boundary Commission to seriously consider the proposed amendments. Penkhull and Stoke have always been and always will be entirely separate and distinct communities which were never paired together prior to the previous review in 2010. We really do feel that Stoke Town has become irrelevant to us as a commercial centre and we look towards Hanley and and Newcastle-under-Lyme area as our main shopping centres. Also many people in Penkhull work at the Royal Stoke Hospital and in the many health centres around Hartshill and Penkhull and so economically and in terms of employment there is a link that is not shared with the residents in Stoke Town. There our various schools in Penkhull too (around 7 I believe) with Thirstley Hough Academy, The Mount and The Willows to name but a few. So as you can see we really are a self sustaining, close knit community with no need to be a part of any Stoke Town ward. Also on the LGBCE website I notice that the 'Forecast Electorate' for the Penkhull and Stoke area is 5277, where as the council's proposed ward of Penkhull would offer an estimated 4250 electors which is more in keeping with the average electorate across this city. That is why I whole heartedly agree with the council's proposal for a separate electoral council ward for Penkhull that is based around our solid community and the number of electorates it represents and hope you will decide to agree with this new arrangement.

Whilst the current area is called Penkhull and Stoke it's is really just Penkhull with the centre of Stoke Town shoved into it. But we are as different as honey and lemon and it feels like Stoke Town's problems and the running of a crumbling high street are drowned out by the larger concerns of those in Penkhull...of who I would bet a fiver most do not even visit Stoke Town centre. The council's plans to unite as most of Stoke town as possible into a single area with Queensway/A500 as the major road network and the backbone of the newly created council ward is a good one and I rarely commend the council.on anything. This new united area of Stoke would include lots of shops and businesses that share common interests with the regeneration of the town itself including the industrial parks that look set to expand. I love Stoke town and I think it is brilliant that we would finally be taken seriously again by having our own separate area within the council's boundaries. At the moment the town is depressed but with a new influx of money from Heritage England and a determined councillor to solely represent the area of Stoke Town I really do think things can be changed around. Especially if we are separate from the leafy suburban streets of Penkhull that seems to dazzle any councilor who represents it. So please, please, please accept the council's proposals as it is about time we had our own councilor, voted soley by the people of Stoke Town to help us move forward with bringing pride back into the old centre of the potteries! I have attached the map from the council's website for your reference.

The existing boundary already forms a strong local community with in Sandford and we find ourselves cut off from what is Fenton East by the bollards installed on Banbury Street and Heathcote. The slight changes to Sandford Hill that the council have proposed also make sense as the number 11 bus that serves Sandyord Hill picks up from Anchor Road and so those properties on Anchor Road do share links with the Sandford Hill Community. I do not believe the council has proposed anything controversial in their plans and I think myself and other residents woukld be happy to accept the proposed changes if they are required.

I believe Stoke should be an independent ward and I find it ludicrous that the very town that this city is named after has been tagged onto another area like a afterthought. The residents here in Stoke have issues which are different to the suburban dwellers in Penkhull. We live in little terraces and town houses close to the high street whilst they live in four bedroomed houses as far away from the town centre as possible. I think to be represented fairly at a local level we need our own separate councillors. Judging by the council's proposals this can be achieved fairly and with in the guidelines of the commission so I respectfully ask that you consider this when you make your decision.

I wish to request that you keep the Burslem Central ward as it is with only a slight change to accommodate for a small anomaly in Burslem Central. This can be addressed by moving the new estate on the south west of Burslem Central into Moorcroft. This estate is not really in keeping with the heritage of Burslem Central, which are more traditional houses and beautiful old buildings, and famous curry houses on the high street.
