County council ward boundaries to be lined up with city council ward boundaries

It looks as if common sense will prevail, as plans emerge to align county council ward boundaries with city council ward boundaries.

 

Currently our city council Abbey ward, is covered by Andrew Gravells, the Barnwood county councillor.

Andrew lives in Abbey ward, and is also an Abbey ward city councillor.

Becuase of the way the boundaries are currently drawn up, he also lives in the county council ward of Barnwood, as there is no  Abbey county ward .

Plans being considered now will align county council boundaries up with city ones, and create a new county council ward-Abbey ward- the same as the city council.

This makes good sense,and hopefully will cut out any confusion which currently exists over boundaries.

 

It is hoped that the new boundaries will come into operation in time for the 2005 County council elections.
