Boundary Review for Oxfordshire

Consultation is now taking place on an electoral review for Oxfordshire. This was triggered when it was discovered that Witney East was under-represented by 35%. There are currently 74 councillors representing various divisions in Oxfordshire - but is this too many? There are proposals for reducing the number of councillors. What do you think? There is also a move to go back to single-member divisions. If you recall, some years back Grove and Wantage were separate divisions but were put together in the county elections in 2005. More details can be found at the Local Government Boundary Commission website where you can send in your views online. Comments can also be sent to the review manager: joan.dsouza@lgbce.org.uk (tel:020 7664 8531) by 22nd November.
