The Boundary Commission have published responses from the consultation into the number of councillors for Poole. This is quite an unusual case in that the administration (Tory) of the hung council put in one proposal, to stay at 42 councillors, while the other councillors (Lib Dems and the Poole People's Party) proposed a reduction to 38. www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/south-west/dorset/poole-borough-council-ferIn summary, residents who responses favoured a reduction by 14-4 (one response doesn't want to load), councillors who responded favoured the reduction by 6-2, the Tory MP for Poole supported the current number and the Lib Dem MP for Poole North supported the reduction. The reduction was also favoured by the local UKIP branch and the Longfleet Baptist Church.

Colin Gray may have views but I would say that the arrangements in the north are a mistake. Gade Valley ward doesn't work because Langleybury doesn't fit with that bit between Bedmond and King's Langley. Leavesden is an illogical ward at the moment and ought to have been split up, not preserved. Dickinsons ward looks like a 'bits of Croxley Green left over' option once Durrants was made. The Rickmansworth and Chorleywood arrangement is OK. With almost all South Oxhey in one ward, Labour has a safe ward in all but exceptional years. Oxhey Hall and Hayling could be interesting.

Oxhey Hall and Hayling looks a monstrosity. And not keen on Carpenders Park. Deciding that Council size would be 39 looks to have been a stupid idea. And yes I do know which party runs the council that suggested it. S Oxhey is a clear community and should not be carved apart. Carpenders Park is a fairly clear community. Oxhey Hall is really part of Oxhey and the borough boundary should be moved.

I assume this means 3 Rivers is all up in May?

I haven't read the report but have heard the bad news, which rather ruined my wedding anniversary (but that is another story!).
At a fairly early stage we in the Labour Party realised that a council size for Three Rivers of 39 was going to cause huge problems if coupled with three-member wards and annual elections.
We proposed (at the earliest consultation stages) 42 members and a mix of one, two and three member wards. That would have given allowable elector:councillor ratios for Carpenders Park ward boundaries to remain as they are, i.e. without the need to cross the West Coast Main Line. Additionally the ultra-rural ward of Sarratt could continue to be sustained as a 1-member ward. Such a plan could have coped well, we believed, with the rather bizarre geography (or 'shape') that Three Rivers has.
Once 39 members was set in stone, there was a realisation amongst all parties that the Watford Rural area was going to end up rather messy. To be fair, the local Lib Dems worked hard to come up with a solution that would minimise disruption to South Oxhey as a community, by suggesting boundaries for one 3- and one 2-member ward for the estate, together with a 1-member Oxhey Hall ward. Such a plan was approved by the Council without opposition. To achieve this desirable result a rather awkward boundary was necessary in the north of a new Carpenders Park ward. I guess the Commission couldn't stomach it and preferred to neatly tick their boxes with a completely 3-members scheme for Three Rivers.
On adoption, these ward boundaries will have an interesting and possibly significant influence on any new Watford parliamentary seat.

The Commission do seem to prefer 3 seater seats uniformly if the council size is divisible that way
