To ask Council to approve changes to parish council boundaries in the south of the borough and the making of an order to bring those changes into effect from May 2023.

 

 

Members were asked to approve changes to Parish Council boundaries in the South of the Borough and the making of an order to bring the changes in effect from May 2023. A review of parish boundaries and governance arrangements commenced in June 2021. The purpose of the review was to ensure that local governance continued to be effective and convenient and that it reflected the identities and interests of local communities.

 

 

            RESOLVED that:

1.    The changes to parish boundaries set out in the Appendix 1 of the report be approved and an Order be made to bring those changes into effect from 4 May 2023.

2.    The Head of Administrative Services requests the Local Government Boundary Commission to make related alterations to the Borough ward boundaries as set out in Appendix 1 of the report.

3.    In light of the complex relationship between the communities in the north of the Borough and the limited time available to carry out a third consultation, no changes be made to the boundaries of Brinsley, Eastwood, Greasley (with the exception of its boundaries with Awsworth Parish south of the A610 as identified in Appendix 1 of the report), Kimberley (with the exception of its boundary with Awsworth parish at Awsworth Lane as identified in Appendix 1 of the report) and Nuthall at the present time.

4.    A further review be carried out late in the year, the arrangements to be approved by the Governance, Audit and Standards Committee, to identify potential changes to parish boundaries of Brinsley, Eastwood, Greasley, Kimberley and Nuthall Parish Councils which will provide for appropriate governance arrangements for these communities.
