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.

 

For more information, please see this link.

Recommendations become law

The Wandsworth (Electoral Changes) Order 2021, to implement recommendations made by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) for new electoral arrangements in Wandsworth , was made on 01 April 2021.

New ward arrangements for Wandsworth have now successfully completed a 40 day period of Parliamentary scrutiny and will come into force at the local elections in May 2022.

The order for Wandsworth can be viewed through the following link.

Previous Steps:

On 04 February 2021, the London Borough of Wandsworth (Electoral Changes) Order 2021 was laid in draft in Parliament. 

The draft order, if made, would give effect to the final recommendations that were consulted on during the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s review of electoral arrangements in Wandsworth and published on 03 November 2020. 

The draft order will be laid in Parliament for a period of 40 sitting days. Parliament can either accept or reject our recommendations. If accepted, the new electoral arrangements will come into force at the next scheduled elections for Wandsworth Council in May 2022. 

The draft order can be viewed here. 

The draft order refers to a map which can be viewed here. 

On 03 November 2020, we published final recommendations for future electoral arrangements in Wandsworth Council. 

We have now completed our electoral review of Wandsworth Council.  

To view an interactive map of the final recommendations, visit our consultation area. You can view both the existing and proposed boundaries, and search by area or postcode. A non-interactive image of the new ward boundaries is also available. 

 

The changes we have proposed must now be approved by Parliament.  

A draft Order - the legal document which brings into force our recommendations - will now be laid before Parliament.  

The draft Order will provide for the new electoral arrangements for Wandsworth Council to come into effect at the local elections in 2022.

The further limited consultation on the draft recommendations for Wandsworth Council has now closed. 

From 16 June to 27 July, we are accepting opinions and comments (submissions) from the public on changed draft recommendations for Wandsworth Council.

 

The consultation focuses on new proposals for borough ward boundaries, in the following areas:

  • East Putney
  • Southfields
  • Wandle
  • Wandsworth Town
  • West Hill

The Commission has listened to the views of the public put to it during an earlier consultation, and now proposes to change its plans, this to reflect the significance of the evidence we received and also takes into account an electoral variance error which was calculated in our draft recommendations for the wards West Hill and Wandle Valley.

 

The Commission proposes significant changes in the central area of Wandsworth, and is now accepting additional opinions and comments (submissions) from local people about the areas affected. 

 

The Commission would also like to hear from residents in relation to the ward name for our proposed South Balham ward, as we failed to receive a clear consensus in the previous consultation. We are asking local people to let us know what their preferred name option is for this ward via a submission. The options are ‘South Balham’, ‘Heaver’ or ‘Bedford Hill’.

 

The Commission is satisfied with the evidence received for the rest of the borough, and is therefore not seeking further opinions and comments (submissions) on areas other than those listed above.

 

The Commission plans to publish its final recommendations for the whole borough on 3 November 2020.
