The local government boundary commission have written to the 25 London boroughs that haven’t been reviewed since 1999/2000 advising of their intention to undertake a ward boundary review in 2019/20

Unfortunately I haven’t got the link but it’s a letter from the Jolyon Jackson to the chief executive of Merton.

I thought the current rules were that reviews only happened when the disparity between the electorate of different wards gets too big, or when the authority specifically requests one. |

I think they have a carte blanche power to review electoral boundaries at any time; it's the LGBCE themselves who have set the trigger for a review in terms of electoral disparity, as a way of spreading their workload. |
