Current ward boundaries
Review Body

From July 2018, the Commission is beginning a three-year programme of electoral reviews of London Boroughs, that it has not reviewed in the last 5 years.

 

An electoral review recommends new ward boundaries that mean each councillor will represent approximately the same number of voters. We also aim to ensure that the pattern of wards reflect the interests and identities of local communities as well as promoting effective local government.

 

All London boroughs, except Southwark Council, Tower Hamlets Council, the London Borough of Bexley, Croydon Council, Redbridge Council, Hackney Council, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and the City of London, will be reviewed by 2020.

Latest information

The consultation on warding arrangements for Barking & Dagenham Council closed on 11 January 2021. 

From 27 October 2020 to 11 January 2021, we are accepting opinions and comments (submissions) from the public on where you believe ward boundaries should be in Barking & Dagenham Council.  

The Commission is minded to recommend that Barking & Dagenham Council should have 51 councillors in the future. This is no change from the current number of councillors. 

The Commission now needs information from people and groups across Barking & Dagenham to help it to produce new ward boundaries to accommodate 51 councillors.
