We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for ^n^land, having carried out cur initial review of the electoral arrangements for the borough of Scunthorpe in accordance with the requirements of section 63 of, and schedule 9 to, the Local Government Act 1972, present our proposals for the future electoral arrangements of that borough. 2. In accordance with the procedure prescribed in section 60(1) and (?) of the 1972 Act, notice wns given on 3 June 197^ that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to Scunthorpe Borough Council, copies of which were circulated to HumVrside County Council, themember of Parliament for the constituency concerned and the headquarters of the main pcliticnl pnrties. Copies were nlso sent to the editors of the lcc.nl newspapers circulating in the area nnd of the local government press. Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review nnd invited comments from members of the public and interested bodies. 3. Scunthorpe Borough Council were invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our ccnsiderntion. When doing so, they were .•isked to nbncrve the rules laid down in Schedule 11 to the Local Gcverninent Act 197?, nncl the guidelines which we sot out in our Report No. 6 about the proposed number of councillors for each ward. They wore nlso nsked to tnke into iccount any views expressed to them following their con.sultnticn with 1 oenl interests. V/e therefore asked th.-rt; they should publish details of their provisional proposals about a month before they submitted their draft scheme to us, thus allowing nn opportunity for local comment, k. The Council h'ive passed a resolution under Section 7(4)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972 requesting a system of election by thirds, 5. On 30 October, Scunthorpe Borough Council presented their draft nchcme of representation. The Council proposed to divide the area of the borough into 16 wards, each returning 2 or 3 councillors, to form n council of ifO. 6. V/e received no comments on the Council's draft scheme. 7. V/o considered the draft scheme submitted by the Borough Council, v/e noted that the scheme complied with the rules in Schedule 11 to the Locnl Government Act 1972 and our own guidelines and we considered that it provided a satisfactory basis of representation for the district, "/e decided to delete the numbers from the proposed ward names and to re- nnme '.Vast No. 1 North and V/est Ho. 2 South wards as Brumby 7ood '-Vest and Brumby V.'ocd "East wards respectively. We then formulated our draft proposals accordingly. 8. On 30 June 1975 we issued our draft proposals and these were sent •to nil who had received our consultation letter. The Council were •inked tn m-ike those draft proposals, and the accompanying map which Jefinod the proposed ward boundaries, available for inspection at thoir main offices. Representations on our draft proposals were .invited from those to whom thoy worn circulated and, by public notices, from :nombors of the public and interested bodies. V/e naked that rny comments should roach un by 2? August 1975. 9. The Borough Council suggested alternative names for the proposed Brumby Y/ood Snnt and Brumby Wood West wards, and proposed a slight amendment to the boundary between the Lincoln Gardens 'East and Ashby Ur-in^o West words to contain the whole of a new housing development in the Lincoln Gardens Earat ward. V/e also received comments suggesting 2. that the boundary between the Brumby Hast and Brumby West wards should be; changed in order to avoid dividing a housing- estates .in. addition we received comments from a political association suggesting an alternative pattern of wards in the western part of the borough. 10. V/e reviewed our draft proposals in the light of these comments. Y/G decided to accept the Borough Council's suggestion that Brumby V/ood Ifost and Brumby V/ood "'est wards should be renamed Kingsway Sast and Kingsway Y/est respectively and we also agreed that the boundary- between Lincoln Gardens tfast and Ashby Grange V/est wards should be realigned. V/e also decided to accept the suggested realignment of the boundary between the Brumby East and Brumby '/Vest wards. We then formulated our final proposals accordingly. With regard to the remaining suggestion, we preferred the wards in our draft proposals, 11. Details of the final proposals are set out in Schedules 1 and 2 to this report nnd nn the attached map.
