WYRE BOROUGH COUNCIL (cont) look at all the evidence received and form its final recommendations. Tim Bowden, Secretary to the Boundary Commission for England, said: ‘Today’s proposals mark the first time people get to see what the new map of Parliamentary constituencies might look like. But they are just the Commission’s initial thoughts. Help us draw the line to make the number of electors in each Parliamentary constituency more equal. ‘Each constituency we recommend is required by law to contain between 69,724 and 77,062 electors, meaning there will be significant change to current boundaries. ‘We want to hear the views of the public to ensure that we get the new boundaries for Parliamentary constituencies right. Have your say on our online consultation portal’. See www.bcereviews.org.uk www.wyre.gov.uk
WYRE FLOOD ACTION GROUP I joined other flood forum members in June for the quarterly meeting (held remotely) and took part in discussions on familiar topics with paid officers from the Environment Agency, Lancashire County Council, Wyre Council and Natural England and members of the local flood forums from river towns and villages. There are issues concerning Churchtown, St Michaels, Great and Little Eccleston, Out Rawcliffe, Hambleton, Preesall and Thornton Cleveleys which officers are studying and finding solutions for. Cleaning and maintenance of the natural and built drainage system is at the heart of much of the debate. The list of issues and actions produced for each meeting demonstrates the revolving nature of drainage and flood prevention.
