Someone on Twitter did a map of the 2019 General Election result, with the first candidate on the ballot paper winning each seat (but they didn't tell us the numbers) Who was the furthest along in the alphabet to get "elected" this way? And, indeed, the nearest to the beginning to miss out?? Don't know if it's the answer but in Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, Labour's candidate, first alphabetically, was Cheryl McDonald.

Uberoi comes after Hands and Horlick doesn't it?!

The cheapest areas to buy a home in every London borough The City of London looks like good value. The rest less so. Sutton South and Shanklin sounds like a great ward name

Wakefield 2022. Changes based on 2018: Lab gain from C Horbury and South Ossett Wrenthorpe and Outwood West LD gain from Lab Knottingley The LEAP front page still has 2022 as "by-elections only", when it should now read "in progress".

It should be Brambles Farm and Thorntree really. I’ve never heard it referred to as just “Brambles” by locals

East Hertfordshire 2019. C 40 (-10) LD 6 (+6) Grn 2 (+2) Lab 2 (+2). Changes based on 2015: Grn gain from C Hertford Bengeo (1) Ware Trinity (1) Lab gain from C Hertford Sele (2) LD gain from C Bishop's Stortford All SS (3) Bishop's Stortford Meads (1) Stanstead Abbots Watton-at-Stone Split wards in 2019 were: Bishop's Stortford Meads: LD/C Hertford Bengeo: 2C/1Grn Ware Trinity: Grn/C
I think East Hertfordshire is one of only two districts which is still using ward boundaries introduced in 1999, the other being Eden.

Indeed. Second oldest boundaries in the country. And actually not too far out of alignment considering all the development in East Herts. Only Buntingford is really badly under-represented. Of course, the 2023 elections will be on new boundaries. I suspect another review will be needed within 10-12 years due to massive house building in Gilston which kicks off in earnest just beyond the forecast period.

Amber Valley, Mole Valley and Tandridge are still using ward boundaries introduced in 2000. The first two will probably get new ward boundaries next year, but Tandridge's wards are likely to continue until 2024 or later (the LBBCE website suggests 2025, but that's a county council year). Southend-on-Sea is the only council with wards dating from 2001. The LGBCE appear to have no plans to review Southend in the near future. The whole of Wales had its ward map redrawn this year, but Merthyr Tydfil's ward boundaries didn't actually change at all: two wards had a name change, and there was a reapportionment which saw four seats disappear. Those boundaries go back to the 1995 reorganisation if not earlier. And if you want to touch the sui generis cases, the Isles of Scilly's ward map has never changed since the islands gained self-government in 1890.
