Merge proposal

Boundary reviews of district councils are not notable.

They are a frequent event.

Warwick (Electoral Changes) Order 2014 would be better left as the context for the first election after the review. Landpin (talk) 17:23, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kind of neutral on a merge so long as much relevant information is kept as possible. I'd suggest the following as a compromise between the full content in the legislation article and not wanting to overload the election article:
In 2011, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) decided to review Warwick District Council, since 30% of the wards had over 10% more voters than average.^[1] According to the council, the review would "decide how many councillors [are] right for Warwick district" and a working party of one councillor from each political group would be set up to oversee the review process; the review was expected to cost the council £34,700.^[1] The council sought to keep a similar number of councillors in order to manage councillor workload.^[2]^: 7 It was reported that consideration would be given to single-councillor wards, as well as to Warwick Gates and Chase Meadow becoming their own wards.^[1]
The LGBCE announced its draft plans for consultation in 2012. The plans included keeping the number of councillors at 46, having mostly two-councillor wards, and significantly redrawing ward boundaries.^[3] Comments on the proposed wards mainly focused on the areas of Bishop's Tatchbrook, Heathcote, Whitnash, and Myton.^[2]^: 8 The final recommendations were released by the LGBCE in March 2013.^[2] They were enacted by the Warwick (Electoral Changes) Order 2014, a statutory instrument which was made on 8 January 2014, and came into effect at the 2015 election.^[4]

If this is put in a section called something like 'Boundary review' or 'Ward redistricting', then a redirect from the statutory instrument page could link directly to the section which would make more sense than a link to the wider article I think. Of course, suggestions and feedback on the passage above most welcome! Gazamp (talk) 11:35, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
