Potential changes to ward boundaries – public consultation

(Adapted from an email from the Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland.

This does not affect CC boundaries – these are set by Local Authorites such as Edinburgh Council. However, it might affect the Edinburgh Councillors who are ex-officio CC members.)

The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland published its proposals for ward boundaries, for each of Scotland’s 32 councils, for public consultation on 30 July 2015.

The closing date for the public consultation is Thursday 22 October 2015.

Comments on the proposals can be submitted through the Commission’s consultation portal website, by email, or in writing to Thistle House, 91 Haymarket Terrace, Edinburgh, EH12 5HD..

Further information regarding the reviews is available online.

Should you require further information, please telephone 0131 538 7510 for assistance.

(There are some interesting mis-matches between CC areas and Edinburgh Council wards.)
