Political Map of Ealing To Change
Have your say on future ward boundary changes
The current setup of council wards in Ealing borough is set to change and residents are being invited to have their say.
The independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England has launched a consultation which will re-draw ward boundaries across the borough.
The Commission says it aims to deliver electoral equality for voters in council elections so that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters. The review also aims to ensure that the new council wards reflect, as far as possible, the interests and identities of communities across Ealing.
It's recommended that Ealing Council will continue to have 69 councillors in future, but the current georgraphical boundaries in Ealing and Acton are likely to be altered.
Professor Colin Mellors, Chair of the Commission, said, “We are asking local people and organisations to help us draw up new wards for Ealing. As we develop the recommendations, we will take into account local community identities as well as ensuring electoral equality for voters.
“If you have a view about which communities or neighbourhoods should be part of the same council ward, then we want to hear from you. And if you think a road, river or railway makes for a strong boundary between communities in your part off Ealing, then this consultation is for you.
“If you’re interested in the way the borough is run, just log on to our website to explore our interactive maps and have your say.
The review in Ealing is part of a three-year programme of work by the Commission that will see changes to ward boundaries in 25 London boroughs.
Locals have until 5 November 2018 to submit views in this consultation.
