INTRODUCTION Chorley Council was informed by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) that it would be conducting an electoral review intervention within its 2018/2019 work programme to improve electoral equality of the borough.

Electoral reviews are initiated primarily to improve electoral equality. This means ensuring as far as is reasonable, that for any principal authority the ratio of electors to councillors in each electoral ward or division is approximately the same.

Under the criteria adopted by the LGBCE, there are two conditions considered to warrant a review, if the imbalance is unlikely to be corrected by foreseeable changes to the electorate within a reasonable period:

Any local authority with an electoral division or ward that has an electoral variance of 30% or over. This means a division or ward having 30% more or fewer electors per councillor than in average for the council as a whole, and;

Any local authority where more than 30% of divisions or wards have an electoral variance of over 10% from the average for that authority.

Based on the electoral data given to the LGBCE by this authority, both of the above conditions have been met:

6 of the electoral wards have a variance greater than 10%

1 of the electoral wards (Astley and Buckshaw) has a variance of over 30%

This submission sets out the council’s response to the LGBCE invitation to put forward its preferred pattern of wards.

The council recognizes the importance of electoral equality to a fair democratic process by ensuring that each vote carries the same value, whilst at the same time ensuring that governance of the council is maintained at a level which can best serve the electorate.

COUNCIL SIZE

In the first part of the electoral review, the LGBCE was minded to approve the council’s proposal to reduce the number of councillors from 47 to 42.

Chorley Council considered that this reduction would ensure it has the capacity to deliver effective arrangements for the management and delivery of its business and responsibilities. It also allowed the council to retain significant capacity to deliver and enhance its performance in these areas, whilst at the same time being able to respond to challenges facing local government in general and in particular the borough of Chorley.

As part of the proposal, the council notified the LGBCE that it wished to continue to elect its membership by thirds. In such cases, by law1 the LGBCE is required to seek to deliver a pattern of three-member wards across the borough to ensure electorate equality. Subsequently this means that there will be a reduction in the number of borough wards from 20 to 14.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNCIL’S PROPOSED WARDING ARRANGEMENTSThe Electoral Review of Chorley Council Committee, which consists of cross-party membership, considered the main rules (by law2) which the LGBCE follows:

Delivering electoral equality for local voters Reflecting the interests and identities of local communities Promoting effective and convenient local government

In its proposal the council seeks to provide a balance between these three rules.

The figures recorded in this proposal are based on projected electoral figures for 2024 which is 90,148. This figure takes into account expected new developments and predicted demographic changes. In order to deliver electoral equality with a council size of 42, the committee has proposed ward boundaries that allow for an electorate of an average of 2,146 per councillor, with no ward exceeding a variance of +/- 10%.

METHODOLOGYExisting polling districts and their projected 2024 electorate (as calculated and reported in Chorley Council’s preferred Council Size submission) have been used as the ‘building blocks’ for the new proposed wards. This approach has been followed in order to take into consideration existing County Council divisions and Parliamentary constituencies to avoid the situation whereby electors may need to use different polling stations for different elections; which in turn provides a level of consistency to the voter.

Where required and appropriate however, existing polling districts have been split between proposed wards. In order to calculate the 2024 electorate for the whole polling district has been applied to the 2018 figures for each constituent part of the split polling district.

However, where a polling district’s projected electorate is affected by substantial new development between 2018 and 2024, this has been taken into account when estimating electorate figures.

PROPOSED WARDS As previously mentioned there will be 14 new wards created as part of the review, which include ward names. The wards proposed are:

Adlington & Anderton

Brindle & Hoghton

Buckshaw & Whittle

Chorley East

Chorley North

Chorley North East

Chorley North West

Chorley South East

ADLINGTON & ANDERTON WARD

This ward proposal brings together polling district 17B (Rivington) with the current ward of Adlington and Anderton.

Electorally this part of Rivington is linked with Adlington and Anderton as it is in the same County Council division. The two areas have good road links with Adlington providing the nearest shops and community facilities (doctors’ surgery, community centre and playing fields).

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 01A/01B/01C/01D/01E/ 01F and 17B.

BRINDLE & HOGHTON WARD

The existing rural one member ward of Brindle and Hoghton is joined with the part of the existing Clayton-le-Woods North ward which it borders to create the new ward. It forms natural linkages for transport, schools, and shops etc.

The eastern side of Clayton-le-Woods is split by the M61 and M65 motorways, resulting in a patchwork of communities that span the area, and operate as distinct parish’s and communities.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 03A/03B/03C/10A/11A/ 11B and 11C.

BUCKSHAW & WHITTLE WARD

Currently a significant part of Buckshaw Village sits in Whittle-le-Woods (polling district 10C). The new ward would unify Buckshaw Village by bringing its properties in the current Astley and Buckshaw ward into the new Buckshaw and Whittle ward.

Bringing all of Buckshaw Village into one ward helps enhance the growing sense of a common identity on Buckshaw. The village is served by shops, doctor’s surgery, community hub, a school, pubs, railway station and has an active community association.

The links with the southern part of Whittle-le-Woods (polling district 10B) are already established as part of Buckshaw and currently rests in the existing ward. A large section of this new ward also forms part of the Whittle-le-Woods Parish.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 02C/10C/10B.

CHORLEY NORTH WARD

The ward has Astley Park and Chorley Hospital as its focal points.

Each of the communities involved in the new ward relate to this part of the town and the focus of local residents links towards Chorley town. Residents in Astley Village enjoy links to the town through Astley park in addition to bus routes and excellent road network through to the motorway junction at Hartwood and into the town centre.

Residents in the proposed ward (polling districts 06A, 06B, part of 06C and 19D) also have direct links into the town centre, Hartwood junction and through to the hospital. The A6 provides a defined spine to this Ward.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 06A/06B/part 06C/part 07A/02A/02B and 19D.

CHORLEY NORTH WEST WARD

The new ward seeks to maintain the identity of residents in Chorley North West ward. It also incorporate polling district 09E which is directly linked with high density housing population and provided greater clarity over ward boundaries using the main roads of Pall Mall and Tootell Street as boundaries.

This ward also takes part of 08B (currently in South East ward) which again provides greater clarity over the ward boundary and forming a more cohesive town ward than the more linear structure previously in place.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 07A/07B/07C/07D/ part of 08B and 09E.

CHORLEY SOUTH EAST WARD

This ward maintains the majority of the current South East ward and extends the ward through to Heath Charnock (polling district 17C). The two areas are directly linked by the A6 and Chorley Road, along which runs the 125 bus service, ensuring excellent connectivity between residents in Heath Charnock and south east Chorley.

The majority of secondary school pupils in Heath Charnock attend Albany High School or Holy Cross RC School, both of which are located in South East ward. This new ward proposal also helps promote connectivity between the town centre and outlying villages.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 08B/08C/08D/08E and 17C.

CHORLEY SOUTH WEST WARD

The ward maintains its core element covering the Liptrott estate, Eaves Green and the Gillibrand estate. Building on the close proximity between Gillibrand and Charnock Richard the new ward proposal includes parts of polling district 04B (Charnock Richard).

As Charnock Richard is distinct from neighbouring villages such as Heskin, the majority of residents in Charnock Richard have close links towards the south west of the town in terms of local schools, shops, bus services.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 09A/09B/09C/09D and 04B.

CLAYTON NORTH WARD

This proposal seeks to bring the majority of the current Clayton-le-Woods North ward and all of Clayton-le-Woods West and Cuerden ward into a single ward.

Clayton-le-Woods has experienced significant housing development in recent years and there is significant growth planned. It is therefore not possible to incorporate the whole of the existing Clayton-le-Woods North ward into one ward. This split intends to keep identified local areas (such as Clayton Brook) together with the identifiable areas of Clayton-le-Wood West and Cuerden.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 12A/12B/12C/11C and part of 11B.

COPPULL WARD

This proposal seeks to bring together the entire village of Coppull into one single ward. Currently part of the village sits in the Chisnall ward with very little connection to Charnock Richard or Heskin.

The new arrangements remove the split and residents in polling district 04C will now join with polling districts 13A and 13B to unify the village. This improves community ties as residents in the 04C polling district use the same shops, community centre, schools and churches as residents in the current ward of Coppull.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 13A/13B and 04C.

ECCLESTON, HESKIN & CHARNOCK WARD

The villages of Eccleston and Heskin have long operated as a joint community and formed part of previous council and representative seats.

Built along the B5036 main road, villagers utilise many common services, schools and transport linkages such as the 113 bus service. Heskin also shares many similar features with the larger community of Charnock Richard which comprises a number of smaller sub-settlements that have previously been split in a variety of Borough seats.

The regrouping of wider Charnock Richard and its links to similar communities will ensure more consistent representation although any arrangement in this area is split by the M6 motorway which runs north to south through the Parish.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 04A/04B/14A/part of 16A and 14B.

EUXTON WARD

The proposed new Euxton ward brings together Euxton North (15A) and the majority of Euxton South (16A).

The residents of the current Euxton North and Euxton South wards view Euxton as one community, and do not differentiate between the two.

Euxton Parish Council serves both areas.

The village enjoys a community centre and primary schools which serve both Euxton North and Euxton South equally. The bus services serve the whole village and the railway station at Balshaw Lane provides excellent links to Preston, Liverpool and further afield. Unifying the two wards helps strengthen local identity and helps serve the interests of the whole village.

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are 15A and 16A.

LOSTOCK & MAWDESLEY

The rural areas of Croston, Ulnes Walton, Mawdesley and Bretherton enjoy a significant degree of individuality but have many common elements. They have similar characteristics with large farming communities, large areas of greenbelt, good local road network connecting each of the villages and a large number of people commuting to work.

The majority of secondary school pupils in the area attend Bishop Rawstorne School in Croston and are situated in the same County Council division. The new ward proposal also seeks to provide a link towards neighbouring Euxton as it takes in the more rural element of 16A (the existing Euxton South ward) which is a well-used corridor for residents in the villages accessing services and facilities in the town (such as Euxton railway station, Tesco and the town centre).

The existing polling districts used to form this ward are part 16A/14C/18A/18B/18C and part 15A.
