I decided to have a try at making one of these. This is Wokingham Borough Council for the 2019 elections: (black = no election this year; previously all seats held by Conservative)  Then I tried doing one for the current state of the council... It's harder than it looks - in particular it's difficult to tell apart 2 Con 1 LD wards (Maiden Erlegh, Hillside) from 2 Con 1 Ind ones (Shinfield South, Loddon), but this is what I got: (no numbers = 1 councillor)  As an aside, I never really noticed before how nonsensical a shape Bulmershe & Whitegates appears to have on a map. In reality, though, it is nowhere near as nonsensical as Remenham, Wargrave and Ruscombe... |

Is it one of the bits of Wokingham Council that is de facto part of Reading? |

Indeed, I often have an issue with larger councils, such as the counties, where you get huge wards/divisions and also really small ones. Tend to do a zoom in for them, but apart from those I always base my line thickness on the smallest multi-member ward. |

Not just B and W, you could arguably put Coronation,Loddon,South Lake,Maiden Erleigh,Hillside,Hawkedon,Shinfield North and parts of Sonning Ward in Reading Borough. They all get served by Reading Buses,a lot describe themselves as living in Reading,go shopping in Reading town centre, work in Reading. The same goes for a large eastern swathe of West Berkshire. |

They all get served by Reading Buses,a lot describe themselves as living in Reading,go shopping in Reading town centre, work in Reading. The same goes for a large eastern swathe of West Berkshire. Personally I consider Woodley as a separate town, given that it has its own proper town centre and a fairly clear divide between it and Reading. It's more along the same lines as Winnersh—which is also in a continuous urban area with Reading, served by Reading buses, and has its citizens regularly shop/work in Reading—than places like Earley or Shinfield North (or Purley, western Tilehurst or Holybrook) in that respect. However I would draw the boundary through the allotments and the various fields and woods around Bulmershe that actually provide that divide (the railway and A3290 also provide more of a distinct boundary to the east of Earley station than to the west of it) rather than following the railway all the way up to the Kennet - a line that splits B&W neatly in two, while leaving the other three Woodley wards entirely on the Woodley side. |

That is a simply extraordinary map. The Conservatives completely confined to Ash & environs bar the single seat in Tillingbourne... |
