Review Body

This review has been paused while we consider how to carry out effective consultations.

 

We are in contact with the local authority and community groups, and any updates will be posted here. Further information about this review can be found below. 

 

The Commission is carrying out an electoral review of North Kesteven 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 North Kesteven. You can find out more about the review below.

During the six weeks following the publication of the Boundary Committee's final recommendations for North Kesteven, the Electoral Commission received the following representations:

Sleaford Town Council

On 27 April 2006 the Electoral Commission decided to accept the recommendations of the Boundary Committee for England without modification.

On 25 May 2006 the Commission made the District of North Kesteven (Electoral Changes) Order 2006 to implement their decision. Web and print versions of the Order are available at the Office of Public Sector Information's website. The Order describes the new district wards in its Schedule and refers to a map, comprising Sheet 1 and Sheet 2, of the new parish wards. Mapping of the new district wards will be available on Ordnance Survey's election maps website just before the elections in May 2007 that will bring the new wards into force.
