Hartlepool electoral review

Preliminary council size consultation

On 20 July 2010 we started the electoral review for Hartlepool Borough Council. During the six week preliminary stage of the review, we invited proposals for the council size of the council.

We are only considering comments on council size at this time, and we will consider detailed electoral arrangements for Hartlepool during two further periods of consultation later in 2010.

We produced two different documents to support people where there is an electoral review being conducted in their area:

  • Electoral reviews: what they are and how you can get involved (PDF) provides straightforward information for members of the public who want to get involved in the review.
  • Electoral reviews: technical guidance (PDF) contains more detailed guidance on the review process and includes details of the legislation that reviews are conducted under.
