Decision:
That the electoral review programme issued by the Local Democracy & Boundary Commission for Wales be noted.
Minutes:
The Chief Executive introduced a report on the recently published ten year programme of electoral reviews which was required under the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013. The report included a programme published by the Local Democracy & Boundary Commission for Wales (LDBCW) which contained information on the review based on a variety of factors, following data obtained from principal councils. It was reported that the review of Flintshire was scheduled to commence in the final quarter of 2015, followed by draft proposals issued in mid 2016 to be finalised after the Local Government Elections scheduled for 2017.
The Chief Executive spoke of some flaws in the previous process undertaken by the former Boundary Commission and work carried out since to build relationships and give a greater degree of confidence in the outcomes of future reviews.
Councillor Billy Mullin proposed that the Council support the recommendations as outlined within the report. This was seconded by Councillor Bernie Attridge.
RESOLVED:
That the electoral review programme issued by the Local Democracy & Boundary Commission for Wales be noted.
