Responses from consultation
Parish council: No proposal received
1 response
Comments: none
The one response to 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
- that the parish name of Tempsford should remain unchanged
 - that the number of parish councillors on Tempsford Parish Council remain unchanged at 7
 
Reason for recommendations
The current arrangements reflect effective and convenient local government in addition to the current number of councillors being proportionate to the size of the area.
