Motion text
That this House expresses concern that reorganised councils in Essex may initially be constituted using existing ward, division or parish boundaries, and therefore may not comply with the electoral equality requirements set by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE); recognises that the first elections to any new authority will be critically important for making long-term decisions; and calls on the Government to require that the LGBCE undertake an urgent boundary review for any newly proposed authority where utilising existing boundaries would result in non-compliance with electoral equality.
