🗳️ CONSULTATION: BOUNDARY COMMISSION PROPOSED CHANGES
The Local Government Boundary Commission is reviewing the North Somerset Council ward boundaries. They have proposed increasing the number of councillors to 51 (currently 50) and are now consulting on a range of ward changes, which... you can read about here ⤵️
🔗 https://www.lgbce.org.uk/all-reviews/north-somerset
This consultation is open until 6 July 2026, so do have your say.
Regarding Winterstoke Ward, it is proposed that the boundary be reduced to manage high population growth. Under these suggestions, homes around Hutton Moor Lane and Puttingthorpe Drive would move into the South Ward starting from the May 2027 local elections
Due to rapid housing development, the number of electors in Winterstoke is projected to be 13% greater than the district average by 2031. The Commission is legally required to adjust boundaries to ensure electoral equality - ensuring every resident's vote carries roughly the same weight.
Any changes that are made will be implemented at the May 2027 local election.
*I've roughly highlighted in blue on the map the area that's subject to boundary changes for Winterstoke ward - it's not a perfect highlight, but gives you a rough idea.
