On 27 June 2017, we started the first period of consultation for a pattern of wards for Nottingham City Council. Between 27 June 2017 and 4 September 2017, we invited comments on the ward boundaries for the authority.
The Commission has also announced that it is minded to recommend that Nottingham City Council should have 55 councillors in the future; the same as the current arrangement.
The Commission needed information from people and groups across Nottingham to help it to produce a new pattern of wards to accommodate 55 councillors.
For more information, read our news release and the letter to the Chief Executive of Nottingham City Council.
