Proposed Parliamentary Boundary Changes - 2013 Review
The draft proposals show dramatic
changes. The current consultation stages closes on 5 December
– make sure you make your views known before then.
The number of MPs in Cumbria is reducing from
6 to 5, with each MP required to look after approximately 76,000
electors. Therefore the parliamentary boundaries within the
County will have to change to reflect this.
The initial proposals were published on 13
September for a period of public consultation and any comments or
suggestions should be forwarded to the Boundary Commission (details
below).
The consultation period runs from 13
September to 5 December 2011
All representations received will be published
in Spring 2012. Following this, revised proposals will be
published towards the end of 2012 when there will be a further
period of consultation. Final recommendations will be
published in 2013.
It is imperative that your views are made
known to the Boundary Commission in order that their final
recommendations properly reflect the views of the residents in this
area.
The initial proposals document, large map of
the North West region, and smaller maps of each proposed
constituency are available to view at South Lakeland House, Kendal,
and Ulverston Town Hall. (Please note these cannot be removed
from the offices.)
Summary leaflets and a small booklet about the
Review are available to take away.
Let the Boundary Commission know your views!
