The LGBC are inviting comments on those recommendations on the published draft recommendations for new divisions, division boundaries, and division names for Derbyshire.

The consultation closes on 1 April 2024.

 

If you represent a local organisation or community group in Derbyshire, please pass this message on to your members or anyone you think who might be interested in the review. 

 

Everyone who has a view on the draft recommendations is encouraged to contact them, whether you support the recommendations or whether you wish to propose alternative arrangements.

They will consider every representation received during consultation, whether it is submitted by an individual, a local group or an organisation. 

They will then weigh each submission against the legal criteria which we must follow when drawing up electoral arrangements:

  • to deliver electoral equality: where each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors as others across the county;
  • that the pattern of divisions should, as far as possible, reflect the interests and identities of local communities;
  • that the electoral arrangements should provide for effective and convenient local government.

It is important that those responding take account of the criteria if suggesting an alternative pattern of divisions.

If you wish to put forward a view, you are urged to ensure that evidence supports your submission.

For example, if you wish to argue that two areas should be included in the same electoral division, make sure tell them why they should be together, providing evidence about community facilities, ties, organisations, and amenities, rather than simply asserting that they belong together.

You can access the draft recommendations and have your say on the Local Government Boundary Commission for England website here
