Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England Boundary Review Consultation

 

 

The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) are consulting on proposals for the boundaries of North Yorkshire Council’s divisions from 2027. The Boundary Review Member Working Group has reviewed the proposals and prepared a response on behalf the Council.
Executive is asked to review the response and approve its submission to the LGBCE as part of the consultation.

Decision type: Key

Reason Key: Affect on communities;

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 14/05/2025

Reason for urgency:
The LGBCE Consultation closes on 9th June and Executive should approve the submission. A different date was being considered for an extraordinary Executive meeting with agreement of LGBCE, but Executive Members are unavailable and so the proposed date is being brought forward, meaning it is inside 28 days’ notice. The time required by officers and the Member Working Group to develop the response precluded it being taken to May’s Executive Meeting.

Decision due: 9 Jun 2025 by Executive

Lead member: Leader

Lead director: Assistant Chief Executive - Local Engagement
