Review Body

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

 

Following this pause, the Commission will be launching a public consultation on a set of Further Limited Draft Recommendations.

 

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.  

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.
