Fylde is to drop significantly in size, and the difference in the map is stark.

Oh wow. I never knew Quorn was named after a village in Leicestershire.

Also new draft recommendations for Derbyshire Dales: consultation.lgbce.org.uk/have-your-say/22484This is where there were mistakes in the previously announced final recommendations. The new draft recommendations are the same as the previous "final" ones except for the two Ashbourne wards, Brailsford and Hulland.

For some bizarre reason Stratford is having another review. I think they must be in competition with neighbouring Warwick for the title of most frequent reviewed district. The draft recommendations are pretty atrocious in lots of areas, particularly the villages in the north east and west of the district. They appear to have decided some villages need to be merged with fractions of nearby towns, but then those that haven't end up in incredibly complicated and illogical 'miscellaneous' wards. LGBCE really should commit to one or the other, but this is the worst of both worlds. consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/24993

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but in a classic example of a lack of joined-up thinking, I follow my previous post with the news that Stratford district is consulting on merging with neighbouring Warwick to form a new South Warwickshire district. Personally I think it's probably just as sensible (or not) as the current situation. They are also already forming a joint Local Plan. www.southwarwickshire.org.uk/swc/

Such a merger would entrench permanent Conservative control. I doubt the other parties in Warwick are too happy with the idea.

Lambeth final recommendations published, the sole proposed single member ward in the draft recommendations did not survive!

The LGBCE has reverted to its original plans around Clapham Common. I'd say it's likely the Conservatives will be favourites in Clapham Common and Abbeville ward, now it won't include the Notre Dame Estate.
Don't think the Green Party's chances are significantly altered by the new boundaries. The Lib Dems would have needed a bold gerrymander in the north of the borough to get them a winnable ward.

A number of instruments relating to Scottish elections have been published, mostly relating to election expenses.
The Act of Sederunt (Registration Appeal Court) 2021 (SSI 2021/309) names the three Court of Session judges who hear registration appeals under section 57 of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Lord Harrower replaces Lord Matthew from 13 October 2021.
The Representation of the People (Variation of Limits of Candidates’ Local Government Election Expenses) (Scotland) Order 2021 (SSI 2021/310) raises the expense limit for Scottish local elections to £806 plus 7p per elector from 1 January 2022. At present it is £740 plus 6p per elector.
The Scottish Elections (Reform) Act 2020 (Commencement No. 3 and Transitional Provision) Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/311) brings sections 5, 10, 12, 20 and 21 of the 2020 Act into force with effect from the May 2022 local elections. Section 5 prohibits electors who are registered to vote in multiple locations in Scotland from voting more than once in Scottish local elections where those elections are held in multiple wards on the same day. The remaining sections relate to election expenses, third-party expenditure and donations to candidates in Scottish local elections.
The Local Electoral Administration and Registration Services (Scotland) Act 2006 (Commencement No. 6 and Transitional Provision) Order 2021 (SSI 2021/314) brings section 17 of and Schedule 1 to the 2006 Act into force with effect from the May 2022 local elections. Those provisions amend the meaning of "election expenses" in the Representation of the People Act 1983 for Scottish local government elections.

Don't think the Green Party's chances are significantly altered by the new boundaries. The Lib Dems would have needed a bold gerrymander in the north of the borough to get them a winnable ward. Well, reducing Gipsy Hill to 2 cllrs reduces the top tier Green prospects to 8 rather than 9. But I agree the bigger issue for the Greens in Lambeth is that they do not have obvious targets beyond their current 3 wards. Brixton Windrush and Brixton Rush Common are probably improved for them over the current Coldharbour and Tulse Hill but both are still monolithically Labour. Brixton Acre Lane is probably as good for them as Brixton Hill. Greens polled well in Thurlow Park in May and they should be eyeing up the new West Dulwich. There's also potential for them in my view in Streatham Hill East. There's no obvious Green targets in Vauxhall. Waterloo & South Bank is Bishops without China Walk, which is probably Labour's strongest part of the ward. It's clearly winnable for the LDs. Which is not to say they will actually win it...

Don't know if this qualifies for this thread as it's not technically a boundary change or an electoral change, but from tomorrow the Sheffield City Region Mayoral Combined Authority will be renamed (or at least rebadged) the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority.
Whilst this will likely be the source of great rejoicing for residents of Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham, it is unlikely to make much practical difference to anyone except the Mayor who now doesn't have to keep explaining that he's not just the Mayor of Sheffield.

Two new electoral orders have been published: The Central Bedfordshire (Electoral Changes) Order 2021 (S.I. 2021/1051). Introduces new ward boundaries for Central Bedfordshire council, with effect from the May 2023 election, and makes consequential changes to electoral arrangements for the parishes of Biggleswade, Dunstable, Eggington, Houghton Regis and Leighton-Linslade. There are thirty-one new wards, of which nine are single-member, twelve elect two councillors and eight elect three councillors. The North Kesteven (Electoral Changes) Order 2021 (S.I. 2021/1052). Introduces new ward boundaries for North Kesteven council, with effect from the May 2023 election, and makes consequential changes to electoral arrangements for the parishes of North Hykeham and Sleaford. There are twenty-four new wards, of which nine are single-member, eleven elect two councillors and four elect three councillors.

The ward names in Dunstable are decidedly odd - 'West' is clearly the southernmost ward in the town.
