The Local Government Boundary Commission for England are asking local people and organisations for their help to draw up new ward boundaries across Buckinghamshire.
A new pattern of wards is being developed for Buckinghamshire Council.
Following a public consultation on proposed council size for the authority, the Local Government Boundary Commission has decided that the number of councillors in Buckinghamshire should be 98.
The Commission wants to hear what residents and organisations think about their local area. A 12-week consultation on the proposals will run until 4 April 2022.
The Commission is the independent body that draws these boundaries. It is reviewing Buckinghamshire to make sure councillors represent about the same number of electors, and that ward arrangements help the council work effectively. It wants to be sure that its proposals reflect community ties and identities.
The Commission is interested in views on which communities should be part of the same ward.
The Commission will use local views to help it draw up proposals for new ward boundaries.
There will be a further round of consultation once the Commission has drawn up those proposals.
You can tell the Commission your views in one of the following ways:
Please give your views by midnight on Monday 4 April 2022.
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England will carefully consider all views received during this phase of consultation, and plan to publish proposals for new electoral arrangements on 5 July 2022.
Commission reviews involve several consultations that ask local people and organisations to get involved.
Once this consultation closes, the review will complete the following steps:
