AGREED

 

To make the request to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) to re-align the County Council boundary along the new parish boundaries.

Minutes:

Councillor McCraith accordingly moved the following recommendation from the meeting of the Civic Affairs Committee held on 28 September 2017:-

 

            “To make a request to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) to re-align the County Council boundary along the new parish boundaries.”

 

The proposition was seconded by Councillor Charles Nightingale.

 

There was no discussion and upon being put to the vote, the proposal was approved by affirmation.

 

The Council:

 

RESOLVED  To make a request to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) to re-align the County Council boundary along the new parish boundaries.

Decision:

The Civic Affairs Committee

 

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL     to make a request to the LGBCE to re-align the County Council boundary along the new parish boundaries.

Minutes:

The Electoral Services Manager presented this report, which invited the Committee to consider whether to recommend to Council to make a request to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) to review the principal area boundaries between South Trumpington and Grantchester so that the county and parish boundaries are coterminous. It was noted that nobody was living in this area and so the risks inherent in a review were limited.

 

The Civic Affairs Committee unanimously

 

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL     to make a request to the LGBCE to re-align the County Council boundary along the new parish boundaries.
