Decision details

The Chief Executive submitted a report for information to provide members with an update on the Boundary Commission’s review of the parliamentary constituency, and how this would impact elections in the Ribble Valley.

The Boundary Commission for England (BCE) published the 2023 Review of Parliamentary Boundaries in England in June 2023. Maps showing the extent of the proposed new constituencies were included in the report, which were expected to come into effect in November 2023. UK parliamentary elections held after the order came into force would be run on new boundaries. Any by-elections held before the next UK parliamentary elections would be on existing boundaries.

The Council would begin the Review of its Polling Districts and Polling Places of Parliamentary constituencies imminently, the results of which would be brought to Committee and recommended to Council for approval.
