Comments:

“It’s 12. It should be 15.”

“They are terrible. They do not listen at all to the community.”

Feedback received through the public consultation indicated a preference to retain the current level of representation and to make no other changes. This view has been considered alongside the working group’s rationale to ensure that any final draft recommendation reflects the aims of the terms of reference as well as the views of the community.

Draft recommendations

1. that the parish name of Marston Moreteyne should remain unchanged
2. that the number of parish councillors on Marston Moreteyne Parish Council are reduced from 12 to 11

Reason for recommendations

The recommendation to reduce the number of councillors is made in accordance with the terms of reference due to the number of councillors being disproportionate to the electorate or to avoid uncontested elections and the subsequent need to co-opt members to fill the outstanding vacancies.
