Review Body

The Commission is carrying out an electoral review of Derbyshire Dales District Council. 

The aim of the electoral review is to recommend ward boundaries that mean each councillor represents approximately the same number of voters.  

We also aim to ensure that the ward boundaries reflect the interests and identities of local communities, as well as promoting effective local government.  

To achieve these aims, we need to re-draw ward boundaries across Derbyshire Dales. You can find out more about the review below.
