I seem to recall Assembly candidates (at least) don't have it on the ballot paper already though it is on the SOPNs.

I wonder how many non-London MPs will have 'address in Cities of London and Westminster' or similar on the ballot paper in December. On the subject of local government boundaries, the LGBCE have this week published final recommendations for Hounslow, draft recommendations for Wandsworth, Newham, Bromley and Richmond -upon-Thames, and further draft recommendations for Enfield.

I doubt any will. In most constiuencies, being seen as livng miles away from where you are standing will be a distinct disadvantage.

On the subject of boundaries in London, the Assembly elections in May will be held on the same boundaries that were instituted for the first elections back in the year 2000 therefore is it likely that these will be the last elections on those boundaries?

The LGBCE did a review of the London Assembly constituencies in 2014 but decided on 'no change'. Because councils are used as the building blocks, no potential change would have made things significantly better. www.lgbce.org.uk/media/commission-recommends-status-quo-for-gla-constituency-boundaries

Looking at the map of Havering LBC it is interesting that Aveley and Purfleet (in Thurrock, Essex) have not been absorbed by it yet (although most of Havering never wanted to be in Greater London in the first place, which is why it has the strongest Residents' Associations in Greater London by far).

Re Pendle, thankfully the LGBCE have decided to rename West Craven West and West Craven East in the final proposals.

Boundary reviews start in North Kesteven and Bracknell Forest, consultation begins on draft ward boundaries for Sutton LBC, and final recommendations have been made for new wards in Barnet and Islington: www.lgbce.org.uk/media?page=0

Barnet looks like it has been a real bunfight amongst the parties. The commission have now undone a lot of the changes, they made in the previous version. Not sure which party benefits.

I haven't seen the revised changes (will go and look now) but I did an analysis of the initial proposals which suggested the result on those boundaries in 2018 would have been 33 Con 30 Labour (against 38 / 25 on the current boundaries). Therefore reversing them would clearly benefit the Conservatives

.. But looking at the revised proposals, there appears to be no fundamental difference. The proposed Coppetts (2 member) and Muswell Hill (1) instead form a 3-member Friern Barnet ward and Golders Green South is renamed Childs Hill but there is otherwise no difference to the draft proposals and the partisan impact would be the same
