Have Your Say On Proposals For New Division Boundaries New County Council boundaries are being proposed by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England for the electoral divisions in Norfolk, potentially impacting both of Thetford’s County Councillor divisions. The Local Government Boundary Commission wants to hear what residents and local organisations think about the proposals. A tenweek consultation on the proposals will run until 23 November 2020. The Commission is the independent body that draws these boundaries. It is reviewing Norfolk County Council to make sure councillors will represent about the same number of electors, and that division arrangements will help the council work effectively. The Commission has published proposals for changes to Norfolk County Council. It is proposing that there should continue to be 84 divisions and one councillor per division. However, most existing division boundaries will change. For Thetford, the Boundary Commission is proposing that the town is split into half, with the village of Croxton being added to the Thetford Priory and Boudica Wards. The other half, will be

known as Thetford East, with Burrell and Castle Wards being added to the parishes of Kilverstone, Brettenham, Bridgham, Roudham and Larling. The Commission has a dedicated section on its website where people can see the detail of the proposals and comment on the names of divisions and their boundaries. People can also give their views by e-mail at reviews@lgbce.org.uk, and by post: LGBCE c/o Cleardata Innovation House, Coniston Court, Riverside Business Park, Blyth NE24 4RP.
