Community Governance Review - stage 2 - Hyde

Responses from consultation

Parish council: no proposal received

12 responses

Comments: all related to moving the parish to Hertfordshire which is not within the remit of this council

Feedback received through the public consultation was mixed in relation to the parish boundary but generally indicated a preference to retain the current level of representation. 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 Hyde should remain unchanged
2. that the number of parish councillors on Hyde 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.
