Purpose:

The Boundary Commission for England has launched a Parliamentary Boundary Review and is consulting on a proposed scheme for constituencies in England.

The County Council’s advisory Electoral Review Panel met to consider the proposed scheme and came up with revised proposals that it felt would be better for West Sussex.

 

The consultation closes before the next meeting of Governance Committee. Cllr Pete Bradbury, as Chairman of the Governance Committee, has been consulted and the Director of Law and Assurance is therefore taking the decision under Standing Order 3.45.
