Potential Council Ward Boundary Changes

In July this year, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England asked local people for their help to draw up a new pattern of council wards for Bath and North East Somerset Council.

The Commission is also looking at reducing the number of elected councillors to 59 (from 65).

The initial consultation ended on 2nd October and the responses and recommendations put forward can be viewed here.

Draft recommendations from the Commission are due to be published at the beginning of December for consultation until approximately mid-February, with the final plans scheduled to be published at the beginning of May 2018.

The new boundaries could alter which ward you would fall under and which Councillors would represent you, however, the alternations would not come into effect until the next local elections, currently planned for May 2019.
